turbotodd said:if it's a GOOD hull, maybe. I've had 9.9 Johnny's in the past on 1436's that would not plane. But then I've had the same motor on a better hull that would; although quite slowly and even then the weight had to be carefully distributed. Currently own a 1548. Ran a 15hp 4 stroke on it for a while and it was a slug to get on plane. Took maybe 10-15 seconds to get it to break over. Once on top of the water it ran fairly good but just getting it there was a chore.
This is strictly opinion, but I don't think so. The bow helps the mod v when it comes to busting through some waves, but the bow of most boats is out of the water from the time you open the throttle until it starts to plane out, so it shouldn't affect getting on plane.jy951 said:Does the mod v plane easier than the standard flat bottom? I like the standard flat bottom better.
I've always tended to think that a flat bottom planed a little easier but I really can't say for sure.jy951 said:Does the mod v plane easier than the standard flat bottom? I like the standard flat bottom better.
