Top end speed out of tiller steer "fishing/hunting"rigs
 

Was wondering what kind of speeds people are getting out of there fishing/hunting rigs unloaded tiller steer and what props/boats/motors everyone is running

Mine Tohatsu 50hp four stroke 16p painted stainless on 1648v weldbilt best I have got on lake is 45mph

45 is pretty fast on the water, especially with tiller steer, my buddies rig we fish tournaments out of only does 40

I have 15/56 custom "V" with 50hp Yammy 13p turning 5600 37mph.

15-54 marshrunner w M40D Tohatsu... 33-34mph loaded w 2 ppl all day!

14/48 semi v with 40 merc 74mph

I believe u mean KPH

14/48 with a ported 40 will do 70+. That's how these guys claim they have fast motors lol.

What kind of prop you running

Mine hardly makes 20 mph any more with my weight gain and the children much bigger than they were, and I need both the 10 HP and the 20 HP motors running wide open to get there.

It'll do 70 mph easy on the trailer, though.

What i gotta do to get my Marshrunner running 70mph w my Tohatsu? Remove the rev limiter and weld the crank?

just a lil old omc sst60 prop

you can fill all the voids in the block with epoxy and stroke the crank. I hear that makes the tohatsu come alive

Man, I pushed my old marshrunner 52 and that was a little iffy lol. Always worried about hitting something floating just under the surface with that thin fiberglass hull at 50+. Pushing an aluminum hull now and feel safer lol.
