Re: How fast will my new boat go

There's much more than $100 worth of parts there if nothing else. I had a similar vintage Johnson 85 and it was a great motor. Sold it in excellent running condition the end of last season.

it is worth every penny. Nice lady to let you get it running, then decide.Pay her before I let my buds in Sebasco know it is out there!

Re: How fast will my new boat go

its a longshaft, i think its looks kinda cool, the outboard is just about 5 feet tall, its rediculous

Ayuh,... cause it Is ridiculous...

Is going to run like crap,+ handle even Worse...
You've be lucky to make 30mph without dumping it...
Running a long shaft motor on a short transom boat is Begging for Trouble.....

Re: How fast will my new boat go

I dont know for sure the boat calls for a short shaft, the cavitation plate lines up just about with the bottom of the transom

that tells me that the boat needs a longshaft engine.


right now im going to empty the water out of the barrel and get some lower end pics

now im curious


EDIT---Siphoning as we speek

Re: How fast will my new boat go

Actually it sounds like you're good. The cav plate should be even to about an inch or so above the keel.

Re: How fast will my new boat go

that would make sense because i was thinking it was a little under the transom, still ganna get pictures to make sure

EDIT- Well now it wont let me upload pictures so i guess thats off

How warm should the water be before i go try it out?

Re: How fast will my new boat go

Long as there is no ice in my book....Just stay in the bay, wear a pfd( but you knew that..) and bring some tools with you .

What, the fisherman are afraid of cold water out there now??

Re: How fast will my new boat go

I had a boat like that and it regularly went 65 or 70 ... to and from the lake ... slower if it was in the water,

Re: How fast will my new boat go

Its a runabout, and with that 70 on there and if it running properly it will make you grin like this-->>>

Re: How fast will my new boat go

Tryed the boat out, ran good but when i tryed to open it up it would just die out, took him home to find all of the highspeed jets were totaly plugs



i got it up to 32mph(gps) with no highspeed jets, not im really curious how fast this thing will go

Re: How fast will my new boat go

how did it handle? my 16' deep "v" hull with 75hp suzuki 2 stroke will hit 38 mph with 2 people 12 gallons of gas, and a cooler. I would think 43 or so could be reached. the guys in the prop section can help you dial it in, I recommend you stop by get schooled in proper prop and engine hieght on transome, it made a differance for me and my boat

Re: How fast will my new boat go

me (155lbs) my dad(210ish) 6 gallons of gas a deep cycle battery and 2 big comfy heavy chairs


had it doing 43 it was still climbing but i dont like to run stuff real hard, would do 45 i bet


handles great, when i drove it alone tho the boat is so light that it turned really sharp to the right and when i wasnt on plane and getting onto plane was a little weird because it was tilted from me being on the right


and with the prop, i think i could put more pitch and maybe get it to do 50 flying solo, it got there really quick and punched hard when i went wot from anyspeed.

i dont have a tach so tuning in a good prop would be hard wouldnt it?


can you tell if this boat is a deep v hull?
