Hi All. I bought a 1992 Harris Flotebote Classic CF (first toon with a rear swim ladder), I have dubbed it the "Big Ugly". The interior is terrible but I bought it for the 24" toons and a good running motor which it has. The RPM's wont get to where they need to be though. My goal is best loaded speed and low speed handling. If I could get 15 MPH loaded I would love it.
So Here Goes:
Also, this motor is supposed to be good for 5500 RPM, i am wondering if only a 5 inch pitch will get me 1500 RPM? Motor starts and runs great. I have had a full tank of gas through it already on both inland lakes and rivers.
So Here Goes:
- Motor: 1992 Mercury Classic 40 HP, 4 Cylinder, 2 Stroke
- Boat: 1992 Harris 24ft original weight 2100 pounds dry
- Fuel: 16 Gallon Tank
- Prop: 14 Pitch Mercury Original Prop no paint on the edges
- Max GPS Speed Empty: 13-14 MPH
- Max GPS Speed with 6 Adults and 4 Kids: 10 MPH
- Max RPM: 4000
