Looks nice but does seem a little underpowered.

How much under powered? what should it be running? would I have any problems power wise or the amount people that I could take out?

Also, whats up with the motor being extended off the back? Is that a good or bad thing?

Re: 1994 21' Dixie Boat

The motor being extended off the back can be a good thing. It allows you to have a full transom instead of a splash well so if you take a wave to the stern you don't end up with a swamped boat. I believe the motor being set back can also improve performance. What is the maximum horsepower the boat is rated for? Folks on here tend to recommend you not go below 70% of the max rated for good performance. I only indicated that it seems underpowered because I typically see these types of boats with >200 horsepower motors on them.
