that's the problem, I'm not used to these 4 strokes and their power or boats. This isn't an optimal hull and a puny little 4 stroke. The hull is about 36" long, 18" wide and will probably be in the 20# range. I don't know how tall is too tall or anything, it was a used home built airboat I got for $20, looked like it started with a .60 nitro then something like a 1.20 nitro
