[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 275751, member: 7791"] Ok I am running an 88' 25hp johnson on my 14' V-hull and when I am really loaded down..... 2 adults (each over 200lbs, 2 children, all my gear, motor, boat, custom carpeted flooring and framing, battery, bow mount minnkota...etc. I can reach a speed of about 28mph still, total weight around 1100-1150lbs. That motor should have no problem planing your boat with 3 adults in it still. Also you can convert that 80's 25hp into a 30hp really easily for around $100-200 bucks. I have done it to mine and thats why I get such good numbers loaded like that. Also the correct prop for your motor is important. What year is the Johnson exactly? What year was your Merc that needs a rebuild? And did you see a compression test on your Merc? [/QUOTE]
