Welcome!

Thanks for joining!

Where are you from? Can you get a picture of your boat?

IguanaGrafix is a sponsor here, he can make you awesome boat letters and any stickers you want for your boat.

I agree.Maybe 12mph if everything is perfect.

The data plate should be close to the hull ID plate.They should be on the inside top corner of transom.It is illegal to remove or other wise alter the data plate or hull ID plate.I just did a write up on ways to obtain a new hull ID.

There maybe a second HIN(hull ID) on the boat.It will be hidden underneath a fitting,grab handle,side rail,or seat.

what does it mean to "plane" in a boat? How much hp does it take to plane your boat?

 

[ben2go]

Planing is when the boat gets enough speed to ride up out of the water and skim across the surface of the water.
