Performance was the same. An article on the boats. They borrow our boat trailer to haul the boat to the dealer in El Cerrito when they hit a bell buoy in daylight in by the Richmond harbor. Knocked a small hole in the bow near the rub rail. http://www.fiberglassics.com/library...title=Magnolia ..... 20 more hp and no difference in performance? Huh. And how do you run over a bell buoy like that? Blind I guess.. The boat was really pretty lightweight. Goofing around one day by Berkeley Pier. Was a section between the launch area that was protected from the wind. Dad was having a beer in the bar and buddy and I were out hot ridding the boat. We made a sharp turn and the high winds were about 2’ above the water. Caught the bottom and figured were going fore a swim. Actually lifted one motor out of the water. I think the lack of performance increase was probably same props and same RPM max. Now that makes sense. same props same rpm,same speed. doesn't matter what engine you have |
