I remember seeing a few pics of your 14'. I bet it will haul with that 60. Dad's has a 40 and she bumps along +/- 30 mph.

it does ok with the 60, I've only had it in the water once since i got ti done. We took it out and it hopped so bad I redid the layout in teh boat to move more weight fwd, I have yet to take it back out, weather's been to crappy when I've had time. My buddy has one with a 70 Johnson on it, its a pretty good match

The center console on dad's is a good bit forward so it helps a lot to reduce the hopping.

Blue, when looking for a motor, the trim & tilt feature means a lot. my old motor didn't have it and the new tohatsu does. its a BIG difference as for as controling the "hop". i tuck it way under when starting out and trim it up as i get on plane. i can load up the bow with stone crab traps and change the trim as i put out the traps. i'd rather have a 40 with trim than a 60 without..

Phat I agree 100% on tilt/trim. On a side note, the guy sold the 14' mckee that Flyfishin was looking at (the basis for this post). I'm sure its a blessing in disguise. The good thing is Fly got his enclosed trailer all cleaned up and ready for market. Anybody here interested in an enclosed trailer? I may put it up in the classifieds....2006 (new in '07) continental cargo single axle 14' enclosed trailer. Make offer!

Quote from Flyfishin:

I installed one 8' long x 12" wide shelf @ about 5'6" off the floor on the left hand side.
I have 2' x 3' shelf at the front "V" of Trailer.
Misc. Hardware/Hangers.

No Partitions.

Heavy-Duty Angle Brackets and Tee Brackets used in shelves. All built by me.

These can be left in trailer or taken out if needed.

I have installed a weather proof Gang Box on the front of the trailer with a "male" plug. This is tied to 2 receptacle gang boxes and 2 lights inside.
Plug in a drop cord and there is power/lights inside the trailer. I used the Trailer to store construction chemicals that I could not allow to freeze and ran a small heater in the trailer during the winter months.

I think that 3rd one you linked to is a 17' "Southport" model isn't it SP?
