I'm running a 3/16 bottom uncle j 17x 54 with a calen's stage 2 GTR , don't be nervous, it will move it on.

What you getting empty /with a load

With just me 33-34 depending on how much clutter is in it. With my usual hunt load of 3 guys, grass blind, deeks, gear, and what not Ill average 30.

Damn you serious what's type hull
You got and what you got in it as for storage and all that

Yeah, the boats always ran good from day one. The hull is actually pretty light, It's just an open floor plan with a rod box, drivers box, and front is all dry storage.

That's a nice boat

That stage 2 is gonna push the he'll outta anything you put it on up to 19ft. When you get to 20ft it'll begin dropping off bc of weight, don't be nervous hoss!

I'm running a 19x48 that tapers to a 54" bottom. T6061 with 3/18 bottom. Heads, Carb, Cam, Muffler. Unloaded, once it hits 28.5 it starts to porpoise. I can add a 225 pound adult and 70 pound child and still hit 28.5.

18.6 x 48/46 3/16 bottom 1/8 sides Uncle J hull, 2 batteries 14 gallons of gas, 65 yeti with beverages and average speed with a 2012 GTR stock with mm exhaust 30 MPH average

It might me a 1MPH difference with a stock motor if it wasn't pinched, but I think the difference will be when you put a modded motor on it. The boat rides as if it want a little more power to really get it to run, its hard to explain. For instance when it was 2 of us in the boat with the same load, if he went to the back to much it would drop down to a steady 28 even, if he went to the front to much it do the same, but when he was balance out right it would hold 28.8. I emptied about 8 gallons of gas out of it sunday morning and took the yeti out of it and the boat really started running great for a stock motor.

Sharp looking rig!
