I just bought the boat to replace my older Alumacraft 14 footer to use with my older Yamaha 25hp engine. Tried to put the plastic gas tank below the motor, but it would not fit! The space between the rear seat and the transom is too short. What are you using for a gas tank and where do you put it?
I’m trying to see if I can fit a 1448 in my garages what’s the total length with a trailer and do I need a trailer if I have a Silverado 1500? Thank you
Get a trailer the 14fts arnt light if you put an outboard on it mine is a 10hp and it weighs like 70lbs plus the 14 48 i have weighs almost 300lbs plus all your gear
Not only that but a standard bed is only 6 ft and long bed is 8 ft so you would have over half ure boat hanging off the back of your truck witch is highly frowned upon with your local law enforcement code
How did you get a new 30hp 2-stroke in the US. Did you have it imported?
Bought it used on marketplace

I use a 3.5 gallon, it fits either side between the rear seat and transom

Thanks for Watching, it’s roughly 17’6” overall length with the 30hp on it. A trailer makes it easier, its not a light boat

Any worries about going over the boat's rated 25 hp max ?
Not at all. Do you worry about being barefoot?
Just curious, how fast does it go with just the two of you and a light load like that?
Top speed 28mph, normally cruise around 24mph
Top speed should be higher wrong prop
