[QUOTE="Seth, post: 68959, member: 1022"] It get's up and on plane pretty fast. Just have to make sure I don't have too much weight in the back and that I keep the impeller shimmed and sharpened good. My buddy has a boat a lot like mine and his boat wouldn't plane for heck. He checked his impeller and it was shot and needed replaced. After he got a new one installed, the boat runs like a scalded mule and jumps up and hit's plane great now. I've seen some of the bigger jet rigs with the 200+ horsepower engines that seem like they are on plane instantly. Those type of boats are freaking awesome, but I doubt I ever get one. A 17-18 footer with a 90/65 would probably be more suitable for most of my fishing. Those big motors are heavy as heck. [/QUOTE]
