How come you don't see any surface drive motors bigger then 40 HP.

Check out Arnsen Surface drives. They run them on off shore powerboats with up to 2000hp blown big block chevys. That would really impress your buddies out on the marsh. would be kind of hard keeping camo on boat at 150+ mph. Also a bit hard on gas. You could have the guys custom build you a Phowler boat around the motor.

i went from a 2072 with a heavy permanent blind with a 150hp motor pushing it to an 1860 flat bottom with a 36hp prodrive. i was impatient with the top end speed but loved the better access to some secluded spots it gave me when public hunting. i put the stage 1 upgrade on it and that helped, but its just a trade off in my opinion. im not sure i would want to be in a boat with a 150hp surface drive......well, maybe just once to say i did!!
