[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 272786, member: 8490"] I've been having trouble with the motor, but I got it all straightened out and finally got to take the boat to the river yesterday. Determined I have to move everything possible forward, I'm going to tweak the layout a bit to move the console as far forward as the cables allow. Riding solo, it struggles to plane, but add a second person and it won't plane at all with both riding in the back. When I had my brother sit on the front deck, it got up ok, but I'm far from satisfied, and this was with the motor trimmed as far in as possible. As far as speed, I used a gps speedo app on my phone and got up to 29 mph with two people. I'm going to wait until I get the weight balance straightened out before I adjust the motor height, the pump never cavitated at all so I'm sure it can go higher. Overall I'm satisfied with the starting point, I think 32-35 is realistic when everything is adjusted right [/QUOTE]
