Default Re: Overpower??

If I am not mistaken

V-14 Trackers sit low to the water.

Overpowering your boat is a concern making sharp turns, you can actually over turn your boat causing it to fishtale out of control, and gravity taking you and who ever is with you overboard with an unmanned boat that is now out of control.

I dont know if an additional 10HP can do that to the boat you have in question, but its something to consider.

If you do end up getting the engine, I would definately have a killswitch handy on that boat and wrapped around your wrist at all time while driving.
