It is rigged a lot heavier then pretty much any other 16 foot boat out there hahaha.
I carry a ton of gear and run 4 batteries in my boat. 2 for the trolling motors, one for electronics, and one for a starting battery.
I also carry a ton of tackle, gear, and rod combos.
This little boat is pretty much rigged the same as the bigger tourney boats you see.
If I do decide to go with a 60hp motor it may open up the option of running a yamaha or mercury or maybe a suzuki if I can find a dealer to get a quote from.
I just want to make sure I can get on plane easily and have a decent top end speed. I was getting about 35mph out of the yamaha 80hp that I blew up but it was also the wrong sized leg for my boat so I am hoping with a 60hp and hydrofoil I can get good planing times as well as a decent top end speed of around 32-35mph.
