The Lund SSV14 specs seem to beat all others with beam width, bow depth, amidship depth and transom height.
What are the opinions putting a 20hp on a 14’? Then trying to push 3 fisherman and light gear around the lake? Seems like a 30hp motor would be unmanageable (weight wise) to separate from the boat at the lake. Also get into electric start at that point and I don’t want the extra battery.
Any experience with the 14’ tinners?

Go half way and get a new 25hp Yamaha. Lighter than most 20hp motors out there. It would be enough. I had a 30hp Yamaha 3-cylinder 2-stroke on a ssv14. It was tons of motor.
