Re: 1748 with GDLT with the 20 max speed about 17mph with a 23 about 20mph. as far as performance the 23 is the way to go. More power and less weight. Also the vanguard parts are less expesive than hondas.

Re: 1748 with GDLT Thanks. I already have the 20hp, its a Vanguard. Will I be able to plane with two people and gear? How about three?
I have an opportunity to buy a 23hp GDLT, if its gonna make a big difference I will get it.

Re: 1748 with GDLT I doubt 3 hp is worth the hastle of buying and selling. I have a Grizly 1548 and a 27 hp Backwater LT on it and I do plane with a fair load and 2 people. 3 I am hesitant to think it will plane (may with moving some weight around to get it on plane). I make between 15 and 17 mph depending on all factors. That is on a Grizly which is not known to be a fast boat, as it is NOT a flat bottom. It is quite stable and runs well, just not fast.
I am new at this whole MM thing so my opinion is not worth much, but oh well I gave it anyhow.
