[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 388333, member: 12925"] Yes underpowered, the speed is not the issue. It will run 38 but takes too long to get there. I cruise about 4000 rpm's what my 115 used to run wot.. I'm on plane in the length of the boat and have all the reserve power I need in tight turns. I can also take whoever and whatever without affecting performance. More hp the shallower it will run. I run the Upper Black River with frequent areas of 1-2 inches of water and mostly tight bends with trees, logs, and stumps in the middle or spread across the river. Just because you have the extra power doesn't mean you always use it. But it is always there when you need it, and it can save your butt. [/QUOTE]
