[QUOTE="openseat, post: 401334, member: 10379"] My opinion on the pods question: If the hull is 51" across the bottom, I'd skip them. If instead it is 51" between the gunnels and only like about 36" across the bottom, I'd definitely add pods (BIG pods). I'm sure you already thought of this test, but you could put 80 lbs next to the transom, with the prop motor still on there, and see what you think at dead drift. My guess on the speed question: I think Rude's estimate is likely correct. With a bigger, heavier hull and a number of dents, I get about 25-26 mph. My impeller is about due to be shimmed also.
