In the late 70's, my brother bought a 14' Glastron with an old, heavy, 4cyl, 85hp Evinrude. The boat was rated for only 65hp. It topped in at 56mph! He burned up the 85 pretty quick. Replaced it with 75hp 3cyl "racing motor" (I think it was originally "Hustler" but tweaked) and a much bigger (21 inch pitch) prop. Hole Shot was measured in minutes! But, from on plane to 55mph was seconds, the hull mostly left the water and would rock side to side! At 60mph the rocking stopped and the hull completely out of the water! It maxed out at 72mph! First time I ever water skied was behind that boat. I had been skiing less than 5 minutes EVER! and the high school football coach started to pass us. The coach's new 21' bass boat, with a 200hp Mercury, (he bragged) could top in at 55. As the coach got next to us, made eye contact with my brother, he slammed his throttle. My Brother looked back at me for about a millisecond, then slammed his throttle too! SO, My First Time Ever Water Skiing, we shot by the coach at about 65mph!!! I was Terrified, I didn't know how to fall, or let go of the rope, but at 14yo in front the coach, I was Joe Cool! A month later and just a week before my freshman year, the school photographer snapped a picture... I was on a slalom with a cheerleader on my shoulder behind that little boat!

Would strongly recommend getting a 3 blade prop with a lot more pitch it won’t have as much torque but you’ll be able to give it some throttle without flipping backwards and fearing for your life and if your ever able to run wide open which I highly doubt it’ll be a lot faster. You could easily run a 26p or 28p prop on that boat. Also this is FUCKING AWESOME
@needmoreboost6369 Жыл бұрын

Gotta get the prop shaft higher in relation to the bottom of the hull. You drop it deeper and it’s going to porpoise even more. Don’t need a lot of trim either. Not sure of the clearance on that lower unit, but try running a hub less prop; small eared chopper or lightning ET. Ideally, if you put a 4-6” jack plate on it to get farther behind the transom, that might help with the porpoising and cavitation as well. Good job wearing a helmet, life jacket, and having a crash boat with you.

I built a tiny 4' x 8' small speedboat with a controls tunnel to the motor of 1/4" plywood with glass cloth and resin over that. 2 cylinder Mercury Mark 20 tuned to 12,000 rpm. Passed a sky boat at max at estimated 72 mph on his speedometer on the reservation lake near Reno, NV. Hit a 2/3 submerged beer can at about 85 mph; got to shore at about 35 mph and sk9idded to a stop. That run was intense.

Nice engineering job, to get it balanced out to sit right! Laughed my behind off when you launched it hard, and about lost it!! About 1/2 the horsepower would still be ridiculously fun! Good job bro!

This is legit the kind of stuff i used to do with friends on a weekend when I was you guys age lol...please tell me you did have a kill switch on that thing at least. EDIT: I see it behind you..nice, there's a difference been sketchy with precautions and sketchy and death wish...glad you guys kept it (moderately) safe.

I know a guy who put a 150 on a boat rated for a 90, it was great right up to the point where his transom broke off and it sunk like an anchor. And then Ontario ministry of natural resources retrieved the boat and motor and handed him a massive bill.
