[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 493040, member: 3438"] My neighbor only has a 25HP on his 16' Mariner, but that is because his favorite crappie res, has a 25HP limit. Says he can plane wih two guys. Our 14'er, originally had a 50's Evinrude 35HP. We water skied behind it. The displacement on those engines is about equal to today's 50HP. Then we had a 70's 35HP Johnson, which I believe was 30HP at prop. We still water skied and kneeboarded behind it. When we got the 40HP Nissan, and kids were only interested in tubing. Top speed with all, was about 30, but we proped for acceleration vs top-speed. I was going to suggest trying the 35HP, if it wasn't a huge problem. ;) [/QUOTE]
