[QUOTE="jdd5p, post: 180047, member: 765"] I have a 14 foot v-hull with a 25hp johnson I bought this summer. The previous owner had one of those installed. I actually took it off yesterday as an experiment. I gained 2 mph top speed (from 25 to 27). It did get on plane easier when it was installed. I say easier, but not necessarily faster. With it installed I could just hit the throttle wide open and be on plane in about 5-6 seconds. With it off if I hit the throttle too hard before its on plane the bow rises up so high I can't see. Once it is on plane it works great though and it feels like it accelerates faster. Turning is definently easier too. Maybe your results will vary, but I will not be putting mine back on. [/QUOTE]
