[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3777233, member: 5412"] I'm going with others as a lifetime boat owner saying that the OP's weight issues with the crew is going to be an issue. The 50 hp will likely not come on plane with a full crew + gear. It doesn't take a lot of weight to slow a boat down. As an example, I have a 14' v bottom with a 20 hp Mercury on it. Just me onboard it will run 28 mph on a GPS. When I add a passenger and a few buckets of bait/jug lines, speed drops to 18mph. While still on plane, the fuel usage doubles. Also have a 19.5' aluminum hull deep V with a 75 hp on it. 45 mph with just me, and 38 with a passenger and load of fishing gear. [/QUOTE]
