[QUOTE="traybore, post: 270550, member: 9088"] Ok, have a question for all you Bass Tracker guys... This is a 16ft tracker, with a 40hp mariner on it. I got it out to the lake over the weekend. Once I got through half a tank of bad gas, the motor ran fine. However, it was next to impossible to get it up on a plane. Max speed according to GPS was 16MPH at full throttle and on about as close to a plane as I could get it. Played with the motor angle, no change. Just curious how fast people's boats with similar engines are running and how fast you can get it up on a plane? Does 16MPH top speed sound right? Any ideas what would cause the slow speed if not? 16MPH was only achieved with just me in the boat, no gear, no trolling battery or motor, only about half a tank of gas, and the front deck hasnt even been put back in.
