[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 420069, member: 18942"] looks like the pods might be welded on straight rather than angled up some. Might be to back heavy but figured pods would counter that. My old 60/40 two stoke merc pushes my boat pretty well it's a 1554 and just as heavy as his boat I'm sure. Mine is a 1/8" hull with full floor, gun/rod box on each side tiller as well so it's a little back heavy. Mine takes a minute to plane out if it's loaded heavy with three guys and hunting gear but planes out and will still do 26-27mph with that load. Load doesn't seem to hurt my top speed much just my time to get up on plane. I'm guessing something is off wonder if he has the four stroke merc and might have one of the old style impellers that is better for the two strokes. [/QUOTE]
