| How fast should an 18' glass boat go with a 150 two stroke?? I have a Yamaha and the boat does 51MPH on the GPS. It's a '95 with a stainless prop. Am I average??? My last boat was a 17' glass with a 115 two stoke and she did 43MPH.
Thanks for the info!

Location: Hayward, WI | I'm no expert but that sounds about right, depending on what hull you are running. If it's a bass boat, more speed might be possible, maybe? The experts could give you a better idea than I can, but they'll want to know what boat it is to give you an approximate guess. An 18' deep V walleye boat will run different than an 18' bass boat will.

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | My 1985 Skeeter 17' 6" w/1989 150 Johnson would do ~65mph on GPS flatout with just me and my gear. The new ETEC 150HO makes it scary faster - same raker SS prop. Yes, it all depends on boat hull and the prop.
Have fun!

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Depends on the hull and what you are carrying. Upper 40's to low 50's for a V hull is about right. |

| Thanks for the input! Sounds like I am right where I should be on weight, power and performance. |
