[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 220440, member: 4585"] Crkdltr, I would think you would be more around 35-40mph easy. I went from a 12 to a 14 pitch prop on my 1542 with 25hpmerc and didn't gain any more top end speed but it cruised much easier and got way better range out of 6 gallons. How much weight do you have in decking and stuff? I had plywood floors, 6 gallons of gas, 2 batt, cooler and 2 adults and was running 31-32 in pretty much the same size boat with only the 25hp. Even in my new boat, a heavy welded G3 1756 with the 40yamaha 2 stroke Im getting 32mph. I can only imagine what the 1542 would have done with the 40hp on it? [/QUOTE]
