I suspect if it was a 2 stroke it would plane it out. It's right on the edge.  It steps up after 45s or so on flat water if I put a tiller extension on it and sit in the next seat forward.  But that isn't worth the effort for a mile or two an hour.  I mean, it's clearly at least semi-planing as it's moving well beyond hull speed but you can feel it release and leap forward and then drop back as it slips between pure and semi-planing.  It's a very different feel than when we had the 25 on it and it would skip across the water.</p></blockquote><p></p>
