[QUOTE="mike_meridian, post: 391968, member: 18674"] He is going to work on the setup. That might be all it can do. I just figured Allweld wouldnt manufacture a boat where the maximum allowed HP wouldnt push it sufficiently. "Sufficient" is subjective, I know. Common knowledge around here is that the boat must be riveted aluminum. It is hard to go by what other folks says their boat will do, fella at work says his 1448 rivet will do 28mph. The other fella has a 40/30 yamaha on a 16' rivet, says his runs well, but he wants more speed. Might stick to plastic, more options to launch, just more work. One of the issues I have is that I dont have a 4*4, and there are not that many accessible put ins, which means I would have to run a ways upriver to get to places I like. My river has become a kayak haven, my old uncle says river not a deep as when he was young. I used to fish it with my grandfather who ran a 25 prop. Duck River in TN. [/QUOTE]
