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.

Radarman, those older Yamaha 25's with the one carb vs the newer ones with 2 carbs are the ticket. Easy to work on and run forever. I sure do like an electric start for a 25, it will start to wear on your arm.

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

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.

Yes Im gonna keep the Johnson. Probably sell the evinrude 9.9 to supplement the purchase of the 25hp.

Any preferred brand or price range/age? I'm on Craigslist constantly and can keep any eye out for you on the DC lists if you don't mind a drive.

I am used to working on Johnson / Evinrude and Suzuki. But I dont think Im predjudice to any kind. I guess a Merc would be my least favorite.
