I have a 16 and a half foot grew boat.
It has a aq120b engine in it.
Volvo 270 leg
No lack of power.
I put it in gear, hit the throttle and it revs to 3500, or more rpm as if it wasn't even in gear. Bur it is.
It gets the boat up to about 15 miles an hour at 4000 rpms.
Prop measures out at 14 inches. Not sure of the pitch, its just not stamped into it anywhere.
Only thing stamped into it is Michigan SMC 268.
The gear ratio is 2.15 to 1
I see that stamped into the lower leg right behind the zinc.
Seeing as this model is called a grew speedboat, I am thinking something is amiss.
The bottom half of the leg seems a little different color from the top half.
It's only 16.5 FT..I'm thinking it should go like a bullet with that engine.
But I could be wrong. I have been before.
any Ideas?
