Oh MY....
Found this forum by accident, I'm so stoked it exists!!!! I have a '77 Step with a 2001 Johnson 115. I use it for spearfishing so it's pretty bare bones, no nonsense machine. I have a ton of questions about so bare with me. I'll post pics asap....

Jack, you'd be surprised how well that boat does with that on it.
Mine when bought new in 1975 (by my Grandfather) came with a 125 horse and would do around 32mph, loaded for 2 people and a days worth of fishing stuff, back then beer was the main ballast, fuel and ice was secondary.

I knew that question was coming. I'm the third owner. I am outboard tech and bought it from an older gentalmen that got too old to use it. Transom was replaced. Excellent job except they took the notch out so it's now a 25" transom, but they kept the old mounting holes so the motor is a little low, and I'm too lazy to redrill it. It runs 32.8mph @WOT. Yes it's on the slow side,but hey, I only use it for spearfishing and it gets pretty good gph.
Some specs: 2 20 gal fuel tanks(premixed) 2 1000cca 24 series batts 2 way fuel selector valve and a secondary valve- I can add a 3rd external tank Armstrong ladder on port side swim platform on stbd side 172qt fish cooler 72qt food/beverage cooler Garmin 545s Dual axle aluminum trailer Last edited by Mariner; 01-06-2011 at 05:54 PM.

Nice rig Mariner, very nice. That 115 pushes that boat just fine. My previous V had the 115 and it was on a bracket, did 34-38 depending on load and whether I had the enclosure up. Got up on plane fast and we used to take the whole family out (6) and do the tube thing and it had plenty of power. And like yours it sips gas.
