That is the tough part. It's a 18hp Van Balanced Hyperdrive. There aren't many vocal folks running something this small and happy to get 20mph, almost empty, and alone. I have it on a 1448 riveted boat, now. It would probably be fine if I ran with a passenger or two but I run alone most of the time, trapping. I have way too much squat, draft too much, and getting on step is more of an "event" than I would prefer. I'm looking into something that is a good one man boat, okay two man boat, and marginal but workable with three. It needs to sit more level with my lard butt running at slow speeds and get on step without all the high bow gymnastics I go through now. I run protected tidal marsh.
