i have a 14ft starcraft just recently took the wife, 2 sons (age 7,5) and daughter (5 yes twins) out and we had a nice little ride the little sat middle bench wife sat bow seat and i drove tiller. steady cruise around 19mph and no balance issue its certainly doable and enjoyable as well

Hey guys just curious who here fishes the locals listed on subject. Im about 5/6hr drive away from the bay areas over there and was curious about coming over. Probably looking for a spot to tent camp and then make the drive to local access ramps. would love to get some feedback and see photos if...

quite the opposite boat would wheelie with just me in it even with the fuel tank pushed FWD i couldnt get it nose down at all. the hydrofoils probably wouldve done it but everything came the same time and i just installed all at once and went with it

sorry guys uploaded from my phone idkk why it is doing that

Hows this look? Adjusted after the previous posts were made. Was about 1.25" low. Now close to even.

12mph max Before, added hydrofoil($27.99), new prop amazon($39.99), new 9.9 tp 15hp carb ($205) new top speed 23mph comes on plane nicely and is purrin like a kitten.

understandable. im not looking for a rocket ship but i think 12 is still yet slow. people keep saying 16-20 is normal and the boat was empty other than myself/wife and battery fuel tank. last night myself my dad and my 2 boys went and we cruised at 9mph no problem which is what my initial speed...

this seems a bit much for diameter compared to the props listed on mercury page for an 03 9.9 am i reading this correctly diameter 12 / pitch 9?

also i am not sure of my RPM seems low and quiet to me even for a 4 stroke a tachometer is definitely in order

do the cav plates come from factory predrilled or not? mine has 4 holes on it that look concentric but there was no foil when i got the motor, grabbed an SE200($80) from bass pro and the holes are not aligned. so i snagged a 2 piece foil from Rural king (shoreland marine $27) and i can drill it...

Varying angle view.
