[QUOTE="whorrall, post: 459400, member: 24168"] Performance (holeshot, mpg, etc) is all great. Top end is what I'm struggling to understand. My friend had a similar hull with a 150 HO Yamaha, and he hit 53. That's been my max speed too. I guess I just expected more from 50 more horses. I hear ya, on making the motor not be "loaded" all the time. I talked to one guy who said he could go "well into the 60s" with his 1872, 225 hp motor, jackplate, and low water pickup. He said he was a running a 26 (!) pitch Rev 4 prop. Sound likely? Do y'all think a low water pickup will be needed to get those kinds of speeds? On the other hand, 50+ is pretty darn quick for the river around here, and realistically I do most of my cruising at 25 or 30. I often have kids on board, and I don't want anyone to get hurt.
