I have an 19' bayliner, with 87" Force 125 hp motor. I have owned the boat for two years, but untill recently<br />,had no working speedometer. I know the motor is getting a little tired, but I am looking for an opinion. The other day i was <br />out on the river ( the water semi. choppy) the boat had five adults, all over 200lbs.I maxed out the throttle, and the speedo was reading between<br />30-35mph. How does that sound???<br />Thanks

Re: Boat speed

That sounds fine. That is a large boat and a lot of weight to have to push around for just a 125hp engine.<br /><br />TMD
