Well I tried the 25 hp on my 18 foot pontoon boat and you were right ! I got 14 mph with me by myself and 10 mph with the wife ,kid and gear. Also we had a storm come in on us while we were out with two foot waves and a 25 mp head wind and my speed dropped to 5 mph . So I am in the market for a 60 or 70 hp johnson if anyone has one they are willing to part with let me know .
