[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 347717, member: 7544"] I had a 12' Sears Gamefisher semi v with a 3.9hp Merc on it. I got about the same results that you're having. 6.2 to 6.4 mph was the max speed regardless of what the load was. And I mean it when I say regardless of load. Whether it was just me and fuel in the boat or 2 people, 2 batteries, TM and all our fishing gear, it would still hit that approx 6 mph max speed. And my little 30 lb thrust TM would almost go as fast. I never found anything to make it go faster except a larger motor. [/QUOTE]
