Does a 90/65 on a 1648 lowe make me an idiot?

[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 382461, member: 9169"] I have a completely rebuilt '94 Johnson 50/35 on my Tracker 1648MV (riveted). My best was 29-30mph with two guys and fishing gear. Typically get mid to upper 20's. I'd guess you would be in the mid to upper 30's range with that size motor. Maybe some pods off the transom would be beneficial for your setup? Here is my homemade transom riser. 1/8" sheet and 1" tube and angle make it up. Have about 40 hours on it in not quite 2 years and it is holding up great. I've also had some pretty hard hits on my motor at WOT and didn't seem to hurt my riser one bit. My corner braces, however, are getting some cracks at the welds on the fore portion of the braces. Going to reinforce my riser with 1" tube by welding it to the top of the riser and running it to the top of the gunwale just in front of the current corner braces. Should resolve my problem, I hope.
