14 foot aluminum boat reviews - iboats Boating Forums
Jan 7, 2016 · This time I upgraded for a bit more room to a Lowe 1467 WT. This 14 footer has side seats rather than bench and floor boards which make it a bit nicer although heavier. The boat comes in without equipment at 350# but it has a lot of free board and rides nice. Just a tip however if you get a heavier boat I like I did.
Speed of 14' Aluminum boat with various outboards
Jul 19, 2009 · Re: Speed of 14' Aluminum boat with various outboards I have a lund s-14, a semi-v hull, but also deeper than most 14 foot tinny's. It's a heavy boat for an aluminum fishing boat.

14 foot boat sizes ? | Boating Forum - iboats Boating Forums
Aug 17, 2010 · Re: 14 foot boat sizes ? It sounds to me like he means a V hull boat, if it's 62" wide at the widest point and tapers to the transom area. They make all styles of V hull boats, Grumman and Duranautic both make good deep hulls, one of mine, a Duranautic 14-40 Offshore model is even rated at 40hp and has a rather deep hull.
advice for 14' boat | Boating Forum - iboats Boating Forums
Messages. 2. Jun 28, 2005. #1. I'm looking for a 14-foot boat and would like some advice on a good brand/design. I will be using it for recreation on a large lake, and would like it to be somewhat stable, as well as safe for my two boys. It also needs to be light enough for two people to pull it out of the water on a beach.
14 Foot Jon Boat Identification - iboats Boating Forums
Feb 2, 2022. #5. Its a semi-V aluminum utility boat, not even close to being a Jon. Its factory built not a kit. It looks like it would be suitable for 10-15 HP, a 35 would be suicide. The lapstreak-like hull sides makes me think it could be a Starcraft, but other manufacturers had a similar design.

Depends where you fish, if you are in a lake you shouldn't need much, if in the river the 20 would probably work pretty well.

14ft vs 16ft Aluminum Boats - iboats Boating Forums
Apr 20, 2010 · A typical 14-foot aluminum boat will plane just fine with lower horsepower than a typical 16-foot boat. For some, the lower cost and lower fuel consumptions means that, for them, the 14-foot boat performs better. A typical 16 foot boat has more capacity, and that means better performance for some. The deep 16' boat you describe will handle ...
Motor suggestion for 14ft aluminium - iboats Boating Forums
Mar 9, 2019 · An 18/20 hp is a good choice and can be found with electric start. Those motors will not charge the batter however. A good choice would be a 9.9/15 motor can be found with electric start and will charge the battery. The 9.9 is a much more powerful motor than the 8 or 9.5 motors. The 9.5 will be fairly equal to the 8 hp.
What size trolling motor on a 14 footer - iboats Boating Forums
May 2, 2012. #3. Re: What size trolling motor on a 14 footer. A 40# troller is plenty of power for that size boat. I've used as little as 24 on a 12 footer but that was a marginal performer. Going over 40 presents a safety issue in that if you power a bigger motor when someone is standing you may pitch them overboard.
