hey guys I have a 9.9 four stroke merc. do you think it will push a 14/36 with floor and carpet and two men?

@BrandonDrew87

Yup, that is a great motor and should move you along just perfect. No speed demon, but again it will be perfect. Join the forum(Its free) and post up pictures of your boat.

If you really want to try it and have the resources, get a piece of plywood and cut it out and lay it on top of your benches. Put on your life vest (please do this) then take it to the water. Go and stand on it and you will get an idea how stable it will be. Sitting? Grab a 5 gallon bucket and put it in the center of your temporary deck and sit. Feel how it rocks back and forth. Factor in weight distribution and from there you will have to take an educated guess. Good Luck!

@tinboats I did see on tinboats.com numerous examples of guys with a 1436L like mine tricked out with elevated casting decks and under deck storage compartments, some even smaller than mine. Would you still recommend in my case sticking just to the flat floors and that's it? I sometimes wonder when I see these conversions how they do on the water. I don't see allot of feedback on how these conversions do on the water after they are done with these projects.
