[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 464636, member: 18942"] a while back before I had a jet, a girl I dated her dad had an older all welded polar craft 1752 or maybe 1748 with a 50/35 omc just an open hull tiller boat it would take three guys up river with a small cooler and light fishing gear pretty well. Had a trolling motor up front with it's own battery gas and starter in the back. It wasn't setting the river on fire but it got on step surprisingly well. To be fair I'm a small guy around 150lb, her dad was decent size 6'2" probably 230ish, and my buddy that came fish with us was 6' 180ish so it wasn't like each guy was big bubba, but I was surprised how well it did. I'd say keeping the boat light was the key his didn't have a floor, no live well, no steering counsel, just a 6 gallon gas tank, it wasn't like we packed it for a week long trip just took a cooler with a few drinks and snacks, and the fishing gear we needed. I don't know the exact speed we went this was before I had a smart phone with a speedo ap and it only had a basic fish finder no gps for speed. But it would get on step pretty well, and would get us up river as fast as we needed to go I'd say 24-25mph. [/QUOTE]
