Just curious as to what kind of speed you can pick up if you go up with the motor once you are on plane.

On this boat, I have no experiance yet making comparisons.
I do know on my fathers pontoon boat, a 5" difference would increase the speed near 10 mph but in sharp turns, the prop would ventilate.

Thanks, don't think we would see that big of a difference though. I am hioping for a 2-3 kph increase, the big plus is not having the motor trimmed to the max.

Thanks, Pipe
Still got a pile of cosmetic stuff to do to the area's above the rubrail that was painted.
Burned just under 40 gallons this weekend playing with the boat and fishing a little. Right now, best as I can tell, the most I can gain is about 2-3 mph. Again the main benefit was being able to run the motor up for shallow water stuff.
