[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 398601, member: 15636"] FWIW I have a Johnson 8hp on a big Starcraft 12-footer and it too oushes me to 16-17 while alone, but I had my fiance and my 2 newly adopted girls (11 & 16) w/ me and I was down to 10mph. I think the V-hull helped there. But keep in mind that on small skiffs, TRIM IS EVERYTHING! When I had my fiance in the middle seat w/ a girl on each side, I ran slower ... so I put the teenager up the bow and she rode better. [/QUOTE]
