What's the largest motor you would feel comfortable with on an 18' aluminum

bass boat?
On the way home from the camp this morning, I hop on the interstate at the sorrento exit headed back to God's country/Prairieville. Between there and hwy44 I pass ole baw with an 18' Express with a cheek flapping 250 Yami hanging off the back of it. There's not a snowballs chance in hell I'd step foot in that thing. My Ranger rt188 has a 115 on it and weighs more than the express. I'll admit I'd like to hang a 150 on it but got damn that's retarded.

You shouldn't judge the size of another mans unit just cause yours isn't as big.

That's insane. I had an h18 express with a 175 on it and it was android fast

Might have been an x19.
A guy in Chackbay has one with a 250 flashed to a 300. Seen him take off 7 boats behind me in a tourney and pass up glass boats in the intercoastal with 250s and 300s and me with my little 115sho...
Natty's boat was stupid fast! Le Bateau Rouge baw.

A friend of mine's dad has a ranger that will run 94 on gps loaded. The only thing in the water is the prop

my 17.5ft has a 40hp and its way fast enough to scare you at times.
most I would have the balls to put on a flatboat would be:
19ft = 80-90hp
18ft = 70-80hp
17ft = 60-70hp
as I said, I have a 40hp on my 17.5ft and wish I had put a 50-60hp on it but over 40hp gets very pricey fast

I better start hiding my horsepower on my motor while trailering so I don't get judged

I have a Lowe ST175 Stinger; about 18' and I have a 60 hp Merc.......I don't want or need 1 more hp.

I've seen this boat before..... I thought I was imagining it. Thank you for helping me realize I'm not crazy....

I had a 115 on a 17'. That's the most it's rated for. I think the 18' is rated for 150
