I am new to Whaler Central and am in the process of a Nauset 16 restoration. I have my eye on the Yamaha F70 for many reasons including it being light / quiet / efficient / new technology, etc. I know the prop makes a difference -but if it is set up right. What kind of speed & performance are folks getting with the pre-smirk 16/17 hulls? Mine would have a center console and would not have tons of gear or fuel or people or water skiing, etc. I believe I have seen folks are getting around 37/38mph? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
