[QUOTE="BTB, post: 397636, member: 12728"] I have a 40 tiller (2006 merc 4 stroke, 3 cylinder)on a 16'6" Alumacraft Yukon. It'll run 31 mph with only me in it with a 12 pitch 3 blade prop turning 5600 rpm- if I trim it up any more it loses speed. I get 27 mph out of a 10 pitch 4 blade prop turning 5850 rpm. For an 1860, I'd go with a 75 tiller or a 90 console steer. I don't think you'll see 30 mph with a 40 hp on an 1860. I would think a 60 hp would be the minimum motor to realistically put on an 1860. Good luck with your search. I hope you enjoy whatever you end up buying. [/QUOTE]
