Evinrude E-TEC 115 on a GT180.

Not a speed boat at 45 mph but enough ;)

Unless you post up some pics, it didn't happen :) We love pics on this site...

HAHA!!! :) Well this 1994 SSV175 ski n fish with a 3.0LX I/O will do 50 mph. It does 45 mph if I have all three of the Interstate group 29(61 lbs each) batteries in it. :) Boat - Lake Mdta.jpg

Thanks for the add. Just bought a '95 Glastron 175 SSV and am wondering what they had for a prop when new (14 1/2 x 23) ?

I know I'm extremely late to this but I just purchased a 1985 Glastron V-195 with a 5.0 Liter 228hp mercruiser. What should I expect to get for a top speed?

I would bet that it would do 50-55mph depending on prop choice.

Hey guys I have bought a 1997 glastron with a 5.7 swap been on the water checking things out and I can get to 55 mph on glass at 6,000 rpms . With a 21 pitch prop should I be looking into putting a steeper or higher pitch on my boat ..??? Thanks
