Re: 115hp in a 16ft.......Is this too much?
i should add that going fast in a boat takes lots of seat time. things happen really fast at speed and only expereince can help you deal with them. simply jumping in a boat and hammering the throttle is stupid. learn the boat, how it reacts to boat wakes, to trim, to corners, water conditions etc. fast boats also need to be set up correctly using proper motor hieghts, wieght distribution, solid motor mounts, hydrolic steering etc. and please, if you are going to go fast... wear a life jacket!<br /><br />
