What size fan are you going to run on that boat? And if you don't mind me asking how well did that old fan push that 1652? I just went from a 1642 fanboat to a 1652 and I'm wondering what size motor and prop. I had a 16hp duromax with a 32in hascon on my 1642 and loved it. I'm wondering if I got a 40-42in competition prop and used the same fan motor if itd push my 1652 good. I sometimes fish in some pretty fast moving currents so I need a decent amount of power..

 

[Greenway]

Why are you not done yet Kyle.

 

[$FrMacastan$]

Why are you not done yet Kyle.

Lack of funds and time bro. Getting married in Oct trying to get my house finished is killing me. Another 800$ should finish it up though. Good thing for me our fishing is good til Nov.

I will be going with a the same setup as TTG 25hp robin 52inch prop. I had a 33" and a 16hp and it pushed great. You could do a bigger prop I'm sure and it would push fine just as long as you keep your boat light.

Looks great Kyle

 

[BOWFISHINGARKANSAS]

Thanks man. Your boat is looking great! One of the best stand designs I've seen on here!
