[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 498472, member: 16767"] When I sold my Ranger, I told myself I would get by with the 1648. It is more than capable of doing a little fishing & crabbing, which is all I really want or need a boat for. I also decided upgrading the 25 to a 35 on the 1648 would be fun. I have a bad habit…I “Feel the need for Speed”. I picked up a nice clean Evinrude 35 SS engine from CL, that I plan on getting up and running, and putting on my 1648. My plan is to document everything I do to both boats in this thread. I am going to manufacture a Jack plate for the 1648, in an effort to get the maximum top speed out of the current 25 HP Rude, with the 13 pitch prop that’s been on it since I bought it. It seems to be the perfect prop for this set-up because it screams. I did a GPS pass with it when I took it out for its test run the other day. The 25 ran 31.6 MPH with a light load, just me and a paddle & life jacket. I wonder how much I pick up with a Jack plate? [/QUOTE]
