[QUOTE="AppalachianAmerican, post: 390976, member: 17423"] This past week i bought a 1969 9.5hp Johnson short shaft for my 14 ft alumacraft shallow v hull. I ran it this weekend, and seems to run pretty good, but want idle well at low speed. I would say it was pushing the boat maybe 6 to 8 mph with 2 people and fishing gear and 3 gals of gas. Seems a little slow to me...am I wrong? The transom on my boat is pretty short, and the cavitation plate is about 3 to 4 inches lower than the bottom of boat , I think I may need a jack plate and a carb cleaning.It has new plugs and wire, looked good when i checked them, has new fuel pump and water pump and had a carb kit and tune last fall, but hasn't been run but once this year before I bought it. What are your thoughts? I think this motor should push this boat more like 10 to 12 mph. [/QUOTE]
