[QUOTE="juggernot, post: 353972, member: 10919"] I think your "dealer" is full of it w the pods recommendation, you could move the batteries forward pretty cheap if that's the problem. If you're runnin a 50 and rated for 115 and loaded near capacity you're under powered IMO. My 03 F-90 weighs 380lbs !. I also have a 12 gal. tank and 2 batts right on the stern, she has a fat a$$ !!. I'm sure the 50 is much lighter than the F-90 and my 1860 will run 40+ and over rev w a 17 pitch 4 bld. prop. I'm no expert but I thought the High thrusts were low geared for propelling large, heavy, slow craft like big pontoons or used for large sailboat kickers? I think you might need a standard 2 or 4 stroke 90 or higher HP outboard for more speed with the loads you're carrying but again....I'm no expert. I checked again and the HT motors have a different lower unit and propeller design than the standard 4 strokes and are apparently not built for speed. [/QUOTE]
