[QUOTE="Will 31pics, post: 476501, member: 26258"] Interesting topic I had pondered myself. For me fully loaded, fuel, gear w/typical amount of passengers, as long as I can get up on plane fairly easy, I dont care of im doing 25 or 70mph. My bassboat power days are long gone as is my hauling *** for no reason at all. Now Im a 1860 with a 90 horse. 41 mph is faster than I want to go anymore. I just hop from one fishing spot to another. If I were guaranteed to do 27mph with a 60 hp, I would do that. Naturally being a life long member of the CBC.. [i]Cheap Bastards Club[/i], my assumption is the smaller motors will be cheaper to maintain & to repair especially if it has to go to a shop. [/QUOTE]
