i have a g3 1444 mv,welded.9.8 tohatsu 4 stroke. top speed with 1, gps, 19.1. top speed with 2, 9.8 mph.i can hit 10 mph with perfect conditions and 2 guys. my question, what kind of speeds would i attain with a 20 hp? anyone have a similar setup? the boat is rated up to a 25 hp. i just believe the weght of the 25 to be too much, i think i would lose most of my freeboard height. these are all 4 stroke questions as pertain to weght. the jump in weght from a 20 hp to a 25 is significant 40-60 lbs. a 20 only weghs 120-130 lbs. a 20 has 1 carb, 25 has efi or more carbs. any opinions are welcome
 
A friend has the same boat except with a 25hp 2 stroke Mariner.He gets 27 mph with his.Doesn't slow down much with 2 maybe 4-6 mph.For me the 4 strokes are too heavy.
 
I've got a 08 Nissan 18 hp 4stroke on a 1648 lowe and hit 25 on the gps. Not much difference between a 20 and a 18 Nissan/Tohatsu. On a 1444 a 20 you should do better the me. A lot depends on how much weight and how it's balanced as to how fast you will run. Me I'm never in to much of a hurry and usually only run at about 3/4 power and the 18hp more then gets the job done.
