[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 484970, member: 3278"] [size=5]Well.....that is a great place to start. All too often in these forums folks will guide you down this path or the other with very little reason to back it up. That particular engine is only 49ci. As such it has to be run at or slightly above 6000 to get the performance you want out of it. It is and always has been a very weak performer on the bottom end. Put it on a flat bottom boat and it would be fine, A V bottom....different story, Bass boat? Even worse. So.....always good to start at the basics instead of looking at the engine all the time. Find out what you have for a prop. [/size] [/QUOTE]
