[QUOTE="Superlucky, post: 462273, member: 24214"] I think that the current speeds that the motor gives you should be plenty. I can't imagine going much faster in that boat. 30 MPH is hauling hay in my book. I would also think that the weight penalty might offset any speed/performance gains. You might even need tabs or adjustable trim to get the boat to properly plane. I just put a Honda 30 on a new Gregor 16 (very similar to yours) and was quite pleased with the performance. The newer motors are so quiet. My boat is rated up to 50 and I can't imagine what a rocket ship that boat would be with a 50. I do think it would scare the heck out of me! Good luck! Bill [/QUOTE]
