Dang Russell 22Mph aint enough? You are keeping the "9.9" Johnson right? Good luck ive been keeping an eye on craigslist for awhile... I want one bad lol. I ripped the rear floor out of my boat it gained me alittle, now im running 16-17 steady.. im ready to buy some square aluminum 1x1x1/8 for support and cover it with sheet metal using pop rivets kinda like those grizzlys at BPS... wood is heavy... my floor has lasted 3 yrs and im ready for a change.
Have you tried a 11 pitch stainless steel prop? They are only $115 from Solas, Take it in and get it cupped for another 1 mph. New reed pack and bore out the carb just a bit. should get you to 22mph. Changing batteries for trolling motor can save a lot of weight also.Quote:

Sorry, I guess he sold it this afternoon. It was there a couple of hours ago.
She runs 23.5 mph. but in the river it aint enough, feels like I'm crawling. I'm hoping a 25hp will get me close to 30 mph. I also pulled the girls in the tube ALL WEEKEND LONG. You wouldnt believe how much of a drag 1 tube and a 35 lb girl puts on a small boat. She'll only run about 15 mph puling that tube:yikesQuote:

I have an 07 25 hp Yammy on the 16'Alumacraft Semi-v. It goes around 35 with just me in the boat, against the wind. I have gotten it up to 42 m.p.h. a time or two. When I get 2 men in the boat and all their gear, it goes around 25 mph.Quote:

i have run merc motors on my boats for years and i have never had no major problems. with a 25 on your with a s/s prop you should get over 35 mph. on my boat i know i'm over 35 but not sure how much over. makes all the difference in the world when i run my 9.9 it fells like a slug. get the 25!!!Quote:
