[QUOTE="Lowrider1, post: 385277, member: 17989"] Well, we got most everything together except the carpet and we took her out yesterday and found the 50hp only got us 32 mph when it used to do 38 - 41mph at sea level. I'm thinking the engine is not putting out the same power at 2200' as it did at sea level. It has new plugs and is tuned pretty well. She might weigh 200lbs more than she used to, but it doesn't see like that would make much difference. Anyway, she rode just fine and we put the little merc 3.3hp on and trolled at 2.2mph by the GPS and didn't catch anything but the rainbows were in a feeding frenzy on the surface chasing bugs and I didn't bring a fly rod. Carpet is bought but not installed and I need a top to get a little shade out there but other than that I think we're set for the summer!! :D [/QUOTE]
