Location: wild rose, wi | Steve: My boat is a Sylvan 16.5 ft. alum. deep V. It is powered by a 75 horse merc. 2stroke with a 19 pitch prop. the boat is rated for a 90 hp motor. I top out at around 38 or 40 mph. Speed is not really an issue for me.. With people sitting in the back two seats I have a hard time getting the boat to plane off.

When I'm hauling home a boatload of fish, this can be a real proplem...... |
