Hello I have a 69 johnson 55hp that runs great good compression on my texas maid fleet 16' aluminum, Prop has no visible marking on the outside will have to remove it to see if I can find them but I had the boat out this whole week and it ran just great started up no problems but I feel it lacks preformace I know this may be a open question but what top speed would you expect and would expect it to be able to pull a tuber/skier, boat+gear+motor+people= about 1500lbs, I manage to ski behind her but it was a struggle to get up and I'm a small guy 140lbs wet and I pulled some tubers all were above 170lbs it was also a struggle to get on plane. I made about 23mph with me in the boat and about 20 with a friend. I feel I need to do some more fine tuning as I just managed to finish getting the motor on before we left for the week vacation. I would like to hit 30 mph and easily tow tubes and skiers does this seem reasonable?
thank you in advance
