Re: Kicker power versus weight on a Master Angler 20
Fish . . . do you have a splashwell gate? If not you can make a good one pretty inexpensively with PVC Tuff Board. Just make sure your entire splashwell is water tight, and the bottom 6 - 8" of the gate is sealed with 4200 and screws. When my 18 is loaded up with Ice, fish, 8hp Honda kicker, and a full 48 gallons of fuel . . . Splashwell scuppers are under and there is 2" of water in the splashwell. Make sure your bilge inspection hatch is water tight and that you have 2 pumps with float switches. Keeping the bow heavy also lifts the stern.
