My last boat was a 24' Lowe pontoon with a 115 hp Johnson 2 stroke outboard. I can't remember exactly but I think it would get up to about 30 mph with just me in the boat and clean pontoons. Once in a while I'd have to scrape the pontoon clean because overtime algae would accumulate and slow it down by 10 mph. I just bought a used 24' Leisure craft with a 115 hp Susuki 4 stroke. When I test drove it it only got up to about 20 mph so this weekend I cleaned the pontoons. After cleaning, I only gained 2 to 3 mph. This is slower than I expected. The tach is not working so I don't know the rpm's. and I also don't know what pitch the prop is. What speed should I expect?
