Not really worried about top speed. I am worried about the loss of speed and fuel efficiency. Right now I have a 94 2.5L Mercury 200 that I haven't even run on the boat yet. I hope after a 30" bracket and maybe a jackplate, I can hit the high 40s. Anything is better than 28mph full throttle from the 150 Johnson that came on the boat.
Been thinking about a hybrid pilot house/hardtop design, where I can swap windshields for a half windshield or a full windshield. We have a company down here that specializes in boat windshields and I have emailed the owner and he wants to look at the boat to see what is possible and whats not.
