That boat is very similar to my dad's. Handles the water really nice.
I tried to get the old man on a diet. Told him to drink light beer. But he's a PBR man, and those beers arent light.
So, we tried to trim the motor. Sure enough, we hit 40 with him in the boat.(which means I could have easily done 60 with out him)

Thanks for the tip. This is the first motor I've ever had that had trim and tilt. I've got lots to learn.
