    Yamaha 25 vs Tohatsu 25 vs Suzuki 25

    Something not right with his boat then. My buddy has a 1648 seaark with the Yamaha 25hp. I have the same boat with the tohatsu 40hp. I will blow him out of the water. He tops out around 25mph. I can hit 35mph. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Yamaha 25 vs Tohatsu 25 vs Suzuki 25

    I am all for buying new but would it not be cheaper to just put a Bob's machine shop tilt and trim on your current engine? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    New Tohatsu 25-30hp 4 stroke

    I am running a 25hp on my 1648 seaark. It will run 31 mph. I was thinking about going with the 40hp. Local dealer has them on sale for $4900 installed but if you are only getting 35 mph out of yours I might hold off. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Question?

    I have a 01 1648 seaark. It is rated for a 30hp. My buddy has a 2017 1648 seaark. It is rated for a 40hp. The boats are **** near identical. The only difference is my center beach is riveted and his is welded. Why would his be rated higher then mine? Thanks! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Bass Tracker ProTeam 165 with 9.9 optimization help

    You are giving up a 1000 rpm's and that is where the motor makes its power. A bigger carb may get you a few more mph. Not worth the $185 to me. Could do that with a stainless prop and run in the correct rpm range.

    Bass Tracker ProTeam 165 with 9.9 optimization help

    Need to prop it where you are running close to max rpm for your motor at WOT. You are giving up a lot of power there and you are lugging the motor. Sometimes going to a lower pitch prop will increase speed because you are running in the correct rpm. I am running a 9.9 on a 1648 sea ark and I can...

    Got a new to me boat.

    Picked this up last nite. 2000 1648 sea ark. With a 2000 9.9 Johnson. Boat looks all most new. Had been kept inside. Paid $1700 for it. I think that was a fair price.

    Fair price on lowe l1236 package

    If you are talking new. $700 for the boat. $1000 for the trailer. $2000 plus for the motor. About $4000.

    Need recomendation for prop on evinrude 15 please!

    I would stay in the 6000 range. You want the boat loaded the way it will be used the majority of the time.
