[QUOTE="JohnTheWelder, post: 364541, member: 15100"] So now the boat and trailer are mostly complete. With the 25HP Merc, it will do 22MPH with 4 adults in the boat. Not bad. I wouldn't mind a little more go though. It's not really up on full plane with that weight at that speed. The manufacturer's max HP spec is 25. However I've seen many very similar boats that are spec'd for 40-50HP. I think this one is spec'd low because it came as a tiller. I added the console and remote steer. Thoughts on swapping the 25 for a 40HP 2-stroke? [/QUOTE]
