I am not running a older OMC Johnson it's a newer Suzuki 25. it may sit in
the water just right with this motor, the pitch of the prop may be just

it just ran great and better than I expected.I'm sorry you guys don't
believe me.


Like I said, I'll take you at your word.

But...

I have a 14 foot Princecraft Yukon with a 2005 Johnson carbed two
stroke with a non-standard prop. With me, 150 pounds of gear, a
transom mount transducer and stern mounted trolling motor, I can just
barely turn 25 mph. That's with a strong tail wind.

So there you go.






There's also the fact that speedometers tend to be inaccurate.
Check your speed with a GPS unit and you will probably find that
it's not quite 32 mph. If so, that's not lying, that's an
inaccurate speedometer.

I know when I took my eighteen year old grandson out for the
first time he said, "We've got to be going 40, at least." The
GPS said 20.
