[QUOTE="Macintosh, post: 495851, member: 31571"] Its all about the prop—pitch it right and you will be fine, wrong prop and it’ll be sluggish. my 16’7” v hull tin weighs between the 1548 and 1652 weights you cited, also wears a mid ‘90’s mariner 25hp—with trolling motor, 2 big batteries, gas, fishing gear and me (200lb) I get 33mph Gps speed. Add my wife, the dog, camping gear, and a 110l cooler full of ice and beves and food, I still get 28. I agree with post #9 above, if you have a set amount of cargo you are going to bring, a similar boat with a higher displacement is going to be less affected by additinal weight and will plow water less. weighing only 60lb more I would be surprised if the 1652 wasnt just fine with a strong 25 on it, and would not be shocked if you only lost 1 or 2 mph fully loaded to the smaller boat. If you bring a friend or two you’ll appreciate the extra width and size anyway. also agree with keeping mods and weight down. If you add 200 pounds of plywood and carpet to it you will want a bigger engine regardless of which hull you get. [/QUOTE]
