[QUOTE="JaxJonBoat, post: 273119, member: 8284"] thanks Jonny for the input, I have converted the motor to a 15 about 3 weeks ago and gained several 100 RPM (about 500 to be exact) and about 3mph with the conversion just figured it would be a little more, which i am happy about, just not happy that the RPM's are at the low end of the range, thought i would gain more. Now i am 6'7" 225lbs and my boat is a 1432 alumacraft and i have a series 27 batt up front, the motor is on a minijacker about 1" above the bottom with a doel fin on the motor, like you said i was expecting to be in the low 20's on speed with just me in it. Wondering if its just the narrow hull and my big a$$ sitting in the back putting load on the motor, while driving it, it just feels like it should have another "gear" to go into and something is holding it back.
