If weight is 900lds all in as it leaves the dock, 38mph. Jacques warned of overpowering this boat. A 25hp would give the low 30's. In the study study plans he lists a 5" draft at 610lb diplacement with a PPI of 200lbs. So, if you're under 900lbs your speed will go up.

There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

My bottom may just be slick enough for some negative slip, we'll see. I do like the confidence! Catch another fish yet?

32.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
32 for Craig, in the book, good luck.
The square pegs at the end of my controller harness do not fit in the round hole on the engine harness, an adapter is needed, so I may be sol for 4th weekend barring a miracle. Putting the 20 back on is not an attractive option at this point. Luckily the sailboat got splashed this morning so I'm not completely without boating options,just fishing options.
First world problems!

While in FL we did find some pretty decent slopes, here in Lake Ontario it tends to be a little flatter but I'll see if I can find a nice downwinder for ya!OneWayTraffic wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:59 am Reckon you'll get 33mph going downhill. Just find a good current.
