[QUOTE="airshot, post: 507759, member: 1183"] I had a 14' Starcraft V hull with an upgraded 9.9 to 15 hp Evinrude. Bought new in 1994, dealer ordered the carb upgrade and walked me thru the changeover after warranty expired. Big difference in performance, just a carb change and some minor carb adjustments and I now had a 15 hp. Used this boat in Lake Erie for about four years. Tried to stay in 1 ft or less forecasts but did get stuck comming in in two foot chop a few times. Not a smooth ride but we had no issues other than lots of spray. Far better than any flat bottom boat for sure ! The 9.9 version would get me about 18 mph and the 15 hp version got me just 24 mpg in ideal conditions !! Moved to a 16' Starcraft but not the wide, deep version so I didn't gain much. [/QUOTE]
