I have a 2005 19' Sea Hunt center console with T-Top and 115 Yamaha 4S. The boat leans a little to the left under power. When I bought the boat it had a fin on the motor. I took it off before I drove it so I don't know if that would help? Could it be the T-Top?
Thanks
I just bought a 2005 Sea Hunt 186 CC Boat. It has a 115 Yamaha 4 stroke motor than has a large fin above the prop. Is this necessary? I haven't seen any other boats like mine with a fin on it. Won't this affect the top end speed by causing extra drag?
Thanks.
I have been looking at this boat, but I am concerned that it is underpowered with the 90 Yamaha. He says it will do 35 mph with two people. I would like it to go 40. Anyway this boat might approach this with a different prop or would I be wasting my money?
I'm looking at a 18' Lund with a 90 HP Yamaha 4 stroke. The owner says it will do 35 with two people. Seems a 90 is two small for this boat. I like the boat, but not sure about the 90 Yamaha. Would like to have a boat that would run closer to 40 at Wot. Could putting another prop on it get...
I have a 80 HP Mercury running a 13X21P prop. *Boat runs 36 MPH, 4,500 RPM at WOT.

2. Would my gas mileage be less running higher RPM.
I have a 16' Starcraft aluminum boat with a 80 HP Mercury. It has a 21P prop. This seems high. Don't have a tach. Boat runs 35 mph at wot. Doesn't sound like its getting all the rpm's. Any help appreciated.
I have a 1988 16' Starcraft Boat with a 80 HP Mercury. It has a 21P prop. This seems high to me. I don't have tach so I can't tell what rpm I'm running. The boat does 35 mph at WOT. The SS160 is a heavy 16 footer, but seems like it should do about 40 mph. Any advise would be appreciated.
