model # E25RCDC
1648 alumacraft (1987)
side console
rear deck, full front deck (all the way to the console, like a bass boat) (alum frame/top)
3 blade alum prop with some small dings
cranking compression is ~112 on lower cyl ~115 on top cyl.
25mph with 1 other person, no deck, just icechest & gear. no tach @ that time.
23mph with about 360lbs of people, 6gal of gas, no water in livewell or ice chest. ~4600rpm iirc
455lbs of people, 12gal of gas, ice & fish, bait in livewell, little extra gear... it struggled BIG time.
at times 14mph @ 3600rpm to 16mph @ 3800. it did get to 19mph @ around 4200 with the engine cover off for just a little while (throttle blade wasnt 100% open). boat no longer wanted to stay on plane unless it was wot.
got it back up to 22mph with 275lbs less of person with the cover off, 20 with it on.
i read over this thread: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23898
I wanted to make sure that my engine would accept the 30/35hp carb & intake.
with the extra power and a SS prop, i think it will get the speed back.
Thanks guys!
