Surprise performance.

Friend I like your math. Keep it honest and do right by YOUR boat. Great 2 part series. I like the boat, but love the motor. I have the 115 normal not so sho lol, and checked out for your sho. A keeper for sure. Love the width of that boat. Simple and easy to run both sides in tight areas. And without liner, you'll spend more time reeling vs repairing. Stay well.

Great vid. Really appreciated those figures you noted at the end. Wanted to ask because I have the same motor... for the one with the 19 inch pitch, what is the name brand, model, and diameter of your prop? Also is it a 3 or 4 blade? Thanks.

[@dondoesit]

It is a Solas Rubex, 3 blade, 13'' x 19''

Hey I want to do the same thing but probably with smaller engines how did you add the steering systems

[@dondoesit]

If you are a tiller now you'll want to find a way to route the cable out of the way. I ran all mine under the floor.

im tryna figure out the difference between vmax and regular 115?

[@dondoesit]

It is of the same engine family. Not sure how but they got it up to 125 hp, More than likely through an ECU program.
