How does weight affect a mud motor? I have a 17x54 with a 25 pd on it. B4 I lost weight i could run 24 mph with it empty and just me in it. I have lost 60lbs and my boy has lost 25 lbs, so how does weight translate into mph? |

You will gain .68734 mph, and no you can't have my secret formula for figuring that out. |

maybe I should have made it a little clearer. I dont care how fast my rig is going right now the 25 hp aint gonna go but so fast. What I would like to know is !!!!!! how weight reduces speed or increases speed with the addition of or removal of it. I might be buying another rig and was just wondering about the weight issues |

I think you know the answer. More weight will make you go faster Less weight you will go sooo much slower |

Lighter is better if it will hold up.. 20+ years ago I built and desgined a hull for 25 hp long tails made out of kevlar. It was 17'x50" with slight v up front than transitioned to 2 " high pad. Kind of like the extreme but prettier. We used corecell foam instead of wood . It weighed 300 to 350 lbs. It out ran 98% of the other boats out there, the rigs that were light enough to beat it did not hold up. With long tails you had a top end in the low 20's due to design ( no gear reduction so the prop , had to be keep small to carry a load.) It may have been only 2 or 3 mph faster top end, but where it realy made a differance was in the shit, mud or vegs! It would keep going when other boats would have to chew their way out. A 3 cyl outboad on the same hull was scary with just one guy. There were no gps back then ,but I am guessing 35 to 40 with the outboard. JD |
