[QUOTE="MstrDan, post: 507761, member: 31336"] I have a very similar craft. 1967 alumacraft 14 foot FD model. Has the same decals on the sides. I have made a few mods to my little tiny mostly with wood so a bit of weight has been added. It does make a difference in speed. I have a 2021 Mercury 9.9 , when boat was stock I was able to get 20 mph with just me in boat. Shot bow way up in the air so much it was hard to see around.With my mods I get 17 upstream and into the wind. Planes out at 12 mph. While it may rock in heavy wake from and waves, it has never taken on water from the sudden dip as it passes over the wave. Slow down and ride the waves at an angle. Does great in skinny water also.
