[QUOTE="thill, post: 492415, member: 4972"] Interesting comments about using a foil. Today, I put a 1996 Johnson 30 HP on the tracker I picked up recently. That boat ran great with a 15 Merc 4-stroke, topping out at 22 mph. It ran great, but that wasn't my motor, and it was really heavy for a 15: [MEDIA=youtube]9FDnyG6-V-0[/MEDIA] So today, I put on the 30, and it actually weighs 2 lbs less than the 15, but it has a lot more power. Almost too much power. Ran it right up to 32 mph, but I'm not used to running a tiller boat, and it felt almost out of control, kind of scary. It has a 17" shaft, so I shimmed it up with a 1" block, but I need to drop it back down, as the prop was blowing out on turns and if I was too quick on acceleration. Here is a short video: [MEDIA=youtube]cOnE8T0ODb0[/MEDIA] Back to the topic, I have an SE sport in my junk pile. Is it too big for a 30? Does it slow down the performance at all? [/QUOTE]
