[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 443902, member: 12995"] Too many variables to really determine why that guy still only got 29 out of a 15' boat. It takes a lot of fine tuning to get the best performance. I had to add the transom wedges to get rid of the porpoising at WOT. But it's really the overall package you need to look at for what you plan on doing with your boat. I have no plans to ever run with 2 large passengers and a livewell so the 60/45 works fine for my setup. If I needed more hp then I would also want a wider hull, but I want to fit the boat in the garage so 16' is my limit. We have a guy with a SeaArk 1872 here on the river and that is a sweet setup. but I don't think he gets much more speed than I do and he has at least a 90 jet. Running super shallow might require pods which will then scrub off some speed so there are tradeoffs that need to be balanced out. [/QUOTE]
