I guess no ones own one. But My cousin has a 25hp on his 16 foot pro team 165 and with both of us and a full load I have seen 22 GPS. I'm thinking with a 50 on his boat we would do at least 40mph. We got 29-32 speedo on another buddys 16 foot with a 40hp.
Hope this helps.

Newest specs from Bass Pro Shops for a 16' 3" boat says 31-32 MPH with a 40. They don't list the speed with a 50. My guess would be 34-36 MPH.

Hey CWCW, I see you got my IM from the other board! Glad to see you over here!! My 17' Stinger is running around 40 with a 60 Merc 4-stroke. A foot less and ten hp less should be about the same I would think.

Not yet. Hoping to get a better idea of the problem this weekend. Thinking maybe the prop or it may be just a combination of the hull layout and the 4-stroke powerband. I will post on my other thread here Monday to update what I find, if anything.
