[QUOTE="fatherfire89, post: 388347, member: 4679"] i have a 30/25 4-stroke merc on a 1648 riveted jon boat. Believe it or not, it will plane with three 170 pound people on board including the driver. As the guy at the marina in Billings Montana told me, with this motor you will get more speed out of a 14' boat if you only have two people in the boat, but if you have three people in the boat you will want a 16' boat. I trust him and my experience tells me his advice is correct. With three 170 lb males on board and minimal fishing tackle I would guess we would be getting 15 to 17 mph on the lake; we were on the river though when I had the GPS. My boat does have a center keel by the way. I haven't heard from anyone that flattened out that center keel but would love to hear if it would help out or not. [/QUOTE]
