It dosnt hav a rev gauge as they didnt do them on a 25hp johnson as a garage told me so i dont no im afraid i hav been asked be for Quote
Andy135 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 If it helps... I had an Orkney Coastliner with a Honda 20hp on it. Smaller engine and smaller boat. Best I ever had was 12kts. I'm sort of agreeing with Jon, 14kts with a 25hp isn't too bad for a semi-D hull like yours. Quote

Have you previously achieved better in the past or is that what you have been told to expect? @suzook12 @captin slows old outlaw My friend has the same boat and he can get 19 with a 25hp yamaha Quote

Redcap19 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Iv been lookin around and iv seen alot with 30hp and 40hp on them and spoke to sum of the owners and they said there glad they hav the big engine on them Quote

Saintly Fish Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Do you have the engine trimmed out correctly, is it electric trim? Quote
