I have a 15 1/4 X 19 low grade stainless. Did fine, up to 42 mph top end.

I might get a 15 or 16 to go on the lake and drag the kid on the wake board.

i ran a 15 X 17 stainless cupped with the 225 Johnson.

I run most of my boats WOT 90% the time till the spot i want to fish. but i like speed ;D I'd like to have a go fast boat too so i could get the N4S out of my system. I'd like a boat that would run around 120 to 130 MPH
