[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 460473, member: 7376"] Ran an 1872 with a 88 special for a little bit a while back, in diagnosing a porpoising issue. 34mph is all it would muster but again, SeArk's are built for speed, they're work boats-and GOOD ones. The 200 would run low 50's but it was an offshore motor that had some work done to it, or that's what I was told when I bought (traded) it. It was a beast-and noisy as could be. I used to gather wild plums and apples from an island on the Arkansas river in the summers and the only way to get to the island was by boat. I'd load the 4 wheeler in the boat and take it to the island, unload, gather up a few toe sacks of fruits and then head back. Before I got that boat, I used to take two boats...one was a 1542 Duracraft, 25hp, and then a 10' no-name aluminum boat pulled by a rope behind it, loaded the 10' with fruit, drag it back to the ramp, unload it all into the truck, load the 1542 on the trailer, then manually lift the little boat onto the top of the 1542. Too much work but I was a lot younger then too. (870) 367-5317 is the # I have for SeArk. [/QUOTE]
