[QUOTE="TinSkeeter, post: 474768, member: 25215"] Slapped the ol' reliable 15 horse Johnson on it while the 50 is in the shop getting a tune up. The shaft is too short for the transom but she still manages to get up on plane before aeration starts diminishing thrust at about 1/2 throttle. A little more than 1/3 throttle is all it takes to plane out with good weight distribution. With the 15 hung on it the draft is about 2" at the deepest point. I launched it without the plug by accident and when I hopped in it was floating so high up that the drain plug hole was completely out of the water, at least until I was standing in the stern to put the plug in. Even then water wasn't rushing in. [/QUOTE]
