General rule of thumb: If it sounds like bullshit....its probably bullshit. |

I don't know, but I pick up my 12hp Copperhead Saturday and I am putting it on a 1244 built by Rick Aucoin, hopefully by the end of next week I will be able to answer that question |

My 12 hp custom rig on a 1242 ran 22-23 in shallow with 2 folks. Been around a lot of little rigs and haven't seen too many faster than that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I completely read this wrong. I thought you said it was a 23hp copperhead on a 12ft jon... No way in hell a 12 hp copperhead is pushing two guys at 25 MPH REGARDLESS of boat. |

Had a 1448 with 18hp and it would run 24 with my fat ass, dog and gear. If the guys are smaller I could see low 20s. Sometime more motor doesn't equal mo speed. Depends on the set up. He must be running GatorGlide  them copperheads will run, lite strong motors.

The 12hp has a 10 1/2" prop, not that it means anything, but it looks ridiculously big on the small motor |

Sometimes a foot or two more in length will help a small motor plane out a boat but not necessarily give more speed. |

I wish I could handle a 14' or bigger boat. The places I want to use it require me to slide it down a river bank or launch from dry land and I will have to manhandle the boat back up and on the trailer. |

I found this video on YouTube, I couldn't find any specifics about the boat, but it looks about like a 12 footer, he repeatedly shows the GPS reading 23mph and there is just the one guy in the boat https://youtu.be/4ekyx3zwl6A |
