[QUOTE="Brine, post: 93443, member: 1053"] Just a thought. It would let you know the value of adding a third, and I only suggested it since I will have the gps. Once I get mine ready for the water, I would like the opportunity to experiment with different motors. For example, what if any impact does having 110 vs 165# of thrust at the transom have considering the extra weight of the battery on top speed? Pretty sure max hull speed for your boat is around 5.5-6 mph. I'm guessing you're around 5 with that setup. You then have to determine if the .2 - .5mph increase is worth it or not. I also want to see how the speed varies with both of us up front vs back etc.....So consider it an opportunity for me to do some R&D for mine... :wink: Personally, if the funds allowed I think I would run just one of the 101's on the back and be done with it.
