- This is my all 2018 Tracker Topper Jon 1542 (15' long, 42" stern") easy start and top speed.
Top speed achieved was 14kph with wife and son in the front with an average of 13.5kph.
Outboard size is a progression. After years of speeding around the lakes, it finally dawns just how many fish you're speeding past. I've gone back to a smaller boat with a 6hp and I catch just as much, plus it's cheaper to run, easier to tow and can be launched in lots of spots that bigger boats can't.
13 mph is flying with that size of boat. Thanks for posting
Km/h it's only a 5hp.
Go for a 9.9 You don’t need to register the boat, & kids can run it without a boater card. I had an 8hp Evinrude on a Tracker 14’. It would plane easily with my 120lb wife & myself.
However, if I put 3 people in the boat, you had to play with the balance to get on plane, & then just barely at wife open throttle.
I kept the 8hp, but picked up a good 9.9. It will go 34kph with two adults, jumps right onto plane, & can then be throttled back to run a long time on a tank. 8hp is the smallest I would put on a boat like this
Might want to include what state/country you're talking about. Because I certainly had to register mine with a 9.8.
Finally someone shows the speed. Sheesh. How can you make an outboard video and not show the speed good video man keep up the good work
Thanks man. I too was annoyed at the lack of informative videos on such things.
Holy chit, I thought you were going to rip the transom off with that power monster!
Me too.
I have a 10ft tracker and i get 28kmh full out with one person. I am looking to upgrade and good to see you can still move with a bigger boat!
**** Always attach to your body your kill switch cord!***** Ask me how I know!
good job for that motor on that boat
my tracker 1542 goes 24mph with my 9.9 yamaha 2 stroke
What size gas tank is that brother? Thx’s in advance
Scepter 12 Gallon. Sorry for delay.
Muy bueno el video 👍
Podría contarnos cuál es el peso del bote y cusl es el peso total?
Quiero comprar un motor y no se cual va mejor.
Muchas gracias y sigue así.
Saludos
I just got a 1542 and need a motor, wondered if 5hp was too small lol
I mean, it goes ok. Hitting 15km/h max ain't terrible. The 1542 can take a 25hp so, go bigger if ya can.
@@justinwhite8009 yeah ran outta money lmao
@@dreaded6645 I know the pain... lol. Tight lines bubs.
9.9hp minimum so it will plane off.
How much was the boat and trailer I’m looking to buy one
From BassPro, it was just the boat and trailer for $2800cdn. The motor was purchased from a local marina for $800. All new. Now, with covid pricing on boats... I would hold off a bit... prices are insane.
Was that 13 Kh or mph? I am looking to put a kicker on my 1750 jon and hoping a 5hp Honda 4 stroke will be enough, thanks
I was hitting 15 kph in this video. I've since tilted the motor a bit and can now hit 18-20kph.
my 14 ft griff craft( stump knocker ) does about the same speed with a 2021 6hp yamaha, gets the job done , i dont fish bass tournaments so i dont need the speed lol, i fish salt water
Is it worth it? Planning to get one
Which one? Boat or motor? Boat is definitely worth it if Jon's are your thing. I'd say put a 9.9hp or up to a 15hp if you can afford it. 5hp goes fine but...
@@justinwhite8009 is it worth for the 5hp motor? Planning to put on a outboard canoe
@@Xng88 a flat back canoe? Yeah man, they run great and push a flat back along great.
@@justinwhite8009 ok thanks
@@Xng88
Did you ever get a chance to try it on a canoe?
My canoe can have 5hp & I'm considering one
Get the Tohatsu… longer warranty…. Mercs are made by Tohatsu…..
I got a grizzly 1448 with a 5 hp it goes 6mph
How loaded is it? You may also need to adjust the trim on the motor.
My 1448 goes 9mph with my mercury 5hp. Won't get on plane though
My 1436 topper 9.9 merc 4 stroke hits 20mph 16mph with 2 people I got a vid up
My 14 36 alumacraft with 2020 5hp merc hits 18mph WOT with one person. All about the trim position and weight
5 hp ! ? Really?
Ya, 5hp, what's your problem?
@@justinwhite8009 that boat is designed for a 25 hp not a cheesy push mower 5 hp! What the heck man!
@@TNsher776 you going to buy me a 25hp? Truth be told, I just upgraded to a Honda 15hp 4-stroke. I don't think I need a 25hp, 15hp is plenty.
@@justinwhite8009 25 hp man! Put a real outboard motor on it!
@@TNsher776 I did.
