Re: how fast should i be able to go?
31 mph With two people on GPS with my 1950 Johnson PO with a Michigan AM 33 prop on a 1954 12′ Larson Commander "speedster" I believe it’s the same Hull as Crestliner but without the windshield ,Larson just pre-dated Crestliner 😉
quote Pappy:
I think Randy in Tampa has the same hull as you with a rear steering set up. Much better performance. He ran a PO on his last time. In my experience with three different engines on my Gheenoe (18hp, Speeditwin @22hp, and a PO) they all ran around 27mph with the same load.
I think Randy was running better than your speeds pretty easily so you have something to look forward to.
Fleetwin is correct on raising the engine but the biggest bang for the buck will come with moving the steering back and setting the trim to free up the hull.
