[QUOTE="Eddie Mullins, post: 264199, member: 3478"] Just got my first tin boat, 14/36 polar craft john boat. It has a 70ish 5 1/2 hp Johnson motor on it. Motor seems to be running great, and looks like it turning lots of water, but moves the boat SLLOOOOWWW. Maybe I'm expecting too much. Is this motor just too small for this boat? What should I expect from this set up? I have a larger fiberglass boat and I actually think the trolling motor on it moves it faster than Johnson is pushing this little guy. Could a different prop help? or is this combo only gonna move at a snails pace? [/QUOTE]
