[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 365345, member: 12925"] I can tell you a 115/80 Fourstroke pushed my 1860 to 36 mph gps flat out, 1-2 mph faster down river. It ran good with just me but add more gear and people and it was way underpowered and took a runway to climb on plane. The boat has extended front deck and rear deck, 24 volt trolling motor, 2 batteries under front deck, livewell, rod box, 2-12 gallon fuel tanks and starting battery in rear. The 250/175 pushes same load plus 3 gallon oil tank in rear to 49 mph. Semojet runs a 1856 with a 60/40 Fourstroke and gets about 30-31 if I remember right. I think Lil Blue Rude is running mid to upper 40's with a 60/40, extensively modified of course. I think you should be seeing at or near 30 with your setup and it should plane pretty good with a 60/40, why it is not I don't know. I don't know what your boat is rated for but most 90 and 115's are in the same weight class if that is the direction you go and with pods should only draft about an inch more. [/QUOTE]
