[QUOTE="thill, post: 345829, member: 4972"] JM, I had to do a double-take when I read your post. At first, I thought you said you ran 80-90 MILES on 4 gallons! But your post and my experience yesterday make me wonder... I'm used to having bigger boats that do at least 40, and I usually cruise at 30-32. This jon only does 22-24 at WOT, and it feels slow, so I'm running it to death. I wonder how much faster a 30, 35 or 40 HP motor would push this hull? (It's rated for 60 HP) More power would certainly push it faster, but what concerns me is the possibility that a heavier motor would weigh down the back of the boat and make it less seaworthy. Right now, the back of this boat floats like a cork. I have never taken any water over the transom, and I want to keep it that way! So if I increase my HP, I want to do it in a way that does not increase weight. Is the 35 HP made on the same block as the 25?? Or is this just a waste of time, and I just need to get used to 20 MPH? Hmmmmm........ -TH [/QUOTE]
