Re: Boat don't run
rpms, are you getting full throttle travel, weight of load, prop being used, diameter of prop, to name a few.

Re: Boat don't run
I'll add, some of the speeds you read online aren't exactly....accurate. 25 isn't right for a solo and light gear load, but depending on your load and the way your boat is built, 30+ may be wishful thinking.

Re: Boat don't run
How long has it been since mods were done? How does the bottom of your hull look? Does the boat have any trim tabs that are bent down too much? Have you checked your spark plugs lately? Has the carb been tuned correctly?

Re: Boat don't run
There were a lot of factors in your first question... This second question has even more...

Re: Boat don't run
My buddies son in law has a built GTR on a 16ft tracker hull that runs 35mph when he has enough weight on the bow to keep it from hopping. Than damn boat will haul ass. I have a modded GTR on an 18 foot Alumitech that consistently runs 30-33 loaded and unloaded.
