UPDATE #2......Thanks again for any assistance! Was able to get out today with the pontoon and do some testing. Flat, calm day. No wind. Normal load, 2 adults regular gear, full tank (22) gallons. After warm up, ran it up and down the lake. Trimmed for speed. WOT 5250 RPM=31 MPH consistent Can run all day at 3500 RPM =16-17 MPH. All GPS speeds. After all this, ran a couple of hours, and spun yet the third **** hub.. Errrrrrr..... What to do, what to do?? I sure as**** will NOT be using a pressed in hub again ! Thanks. Will be mostly crusing, a bit of tube pulling, with a larger crowd a times. Looking for brand, size, and pitch.
Thanks for all the expert input! It is sincerely appreciated!!
