Re: Trailering boat with motor or not?

[mr-asa]

I’ve been thinking about this as well, as I’m getting to a point with my Herter’s that I’ll be able to put it in the water regularly with a 25HP on it. If you’ve got a light motor, it might be ok, but if not I don’t know that it would be a good idea.
A lot of it depends on the overhang of your boat from the bunks. The more of the boat that isn’t supported the worse it will get. Even the 15" up for the transom can do some damage if you’re hitting a lot of bumps and shaking it around.

With that motor I think it will be ok, if you put a 15-18HP OMC from the mid to late 50s on there, I don’t think you’ll like the long term results
