those boats in that video were running faster than 45, there are guys down here running 60s in 12-14ft aluminum boats. I know a guy that has a 90 yammy on a 1648 that will scream. There are some fast boats down here in La, But thats all they are, a fast boat. not many fish out of them.

Those boats are 14-15ft boats. Richard foreman is from south La, he has been build motors forever, alot run on av gas. They also have some 10-12 ft boats with nothing in them but ribs and a 40 merc on the back. talk about fly I dont know who you emailed and told you they were in Cali but Mr...

new rig as of 7-5-11 old rig on the day i picked up my 16ft alweld

I have the Styx River Neo-mats and i love them. Redfish blood and everything else washes out easy with just a water hose. They dont get hot at all. I have them glued to the front deck and rear bench seat, and bolted to the ribs along with the plywood flooring.

Yes i run a Tach. I run right in the dead center of my recomended RPM range 5500-5900. I run a 13p prop. which is one up from a factory 12p prop. i didnt gain but 2-3 mph. I was trying to say that what came from the factory should be set to run at the premium RPM range and max performance.

this all was copy and pasted from other forums. this was directed towards whomever came up with the first post.

I thought ya'll might like to read this. This was found on another forum and I am just copy and paste it here. Here is some info from the USCG on another forum. This pertains to a recreational hull but as you can read the plate has no real requirement and is nothing more than recommended...

i change mine every year, sometimes twice a year. but my motor can, will, and does pump mud through it hahaha :mrgreen:

You will never gain top-end when going down in pitch, you're only helping load carrying ability. If your "factory" prop wasnt letting your motor make the right RPMs then i would think there would be another problem, but its a guess on my part.

reed youre on the right track with the tuner, jets, and prop. You might want to check on carbs though, i think some different brands will swap over with a yamaha. I know 40 hp tohatsu carbs will bolt on a 25 yammi.. Check local shops for blown motors that they want to part out or ebay for used ones

you might have to move your gas and battery around. that will be alot of weight on one side of the boat vs the other side.

yes it is a mega 25. they only imported 145 of them in 2 years and most came to south La. saw one guy sold one for 6k in boxes not even running last year. i paid 400 for mine and im tired of it. how would you make a jet out of it? im always up for something new, even though it wouldnt last long...

lucky yall.. my tohatsu is a 40/50 block tuned down to a 25 with carbs and exhaust, made for running refuges with a 25 hp limit
