    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!

    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.

    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
      @needmoreboost6369 2 года назад +1

    Put a 20 hp on a flat backed canoe did fine till the big turn, the motor kept going with the stern for about a quarter mile while we sank in the rest of it.

      @@shem7974 you’d think that, but I’ve seen a video on the internet that I haven’t been able to find since I saw it of a massive 30 ft sailboat with a 200 outboard on the back towing a tube around a lake, doing a good 25 knots and swerving like they were trying to capsize it.
      Yes, hull speed is a thing, but hull speed doesn’t matter when you have so much power you basically force it into planing.

    I once had an 18 ft Jon boat with a 115 hp Mariner outboard on it. Had to put an anti cavitation plate on the lower unit to get it to handle right. Had an 18 pitch power prop on it. Bringing it up on plane was instant. No hesitation whatsoever. I was a commercial diver collecting fresh water mussels. Sometimes we would have hundreds of pounds of shells plus all the equipment. Other than being such a gas hog, it was a great piece of equipment.

  • @fishawk90
    @fishawk90 2 года назад +5

    Cool test. When u added the weight at the front it got more stable. This is why I think boat builders spec their boats to the motor size. Cuz the misconception Is if you’d take a big motor an drop it on a smaller boat it automatically be faster.

    • @BabyCharlotteschannel
      @BabyCharlotteschannel 2 года назад

      Well of course it'll be fast, but hull TYPE plays probably the BIGGEST part in a hull's abilities!!
      Think about all of the little funnel hulls with F1 merc motors on 'em, and then there's always the little Allison hulls and of course the lil Hydrostream's and Lasers etc..

      I came here to see if someone had mentioned this. They could make the throttle and steering arm extra long so their weight in the front of the boat would even it out.
      Possibly maybe.
