[QUOTE="thill, post: 377323, member: 4972"] 21 MPH... That is interesting. I just heard back from two friends with Tracker 17's, one with a Mercury 40 and the other with a Yamaha 40. Both report a 35 MPH top speed, one with 2 dogs, 2 hunters and a duck blind on it. That is a pretty big difference, 21 versus 35. This has me very curious! Do you have a tach and GPS, or just a speedo? What is your RPM when wide open? Do you think your engine is propped right? You are right, this one is rated for 70 HP, and I have a 70 HP hanging in my shed. Once I get the plywood replaced, I think I'm going to test run her with the 50 ASAP to see if it "feels" good. Thanks again for sharing and helping! -Tony [/QUOTE]
