BN Just for the reference I have a 1970 17' presmirked Eastport with a old 1975 Jhonson 70hp and It gets 31mph as per GPS at WOT with one person, I have had three people and fishing gear and did not notice much loss of power but was not able to run out to test because my passengers was my eldery parents and immedately requested I slow down when I tried to test. It has a stainless prop but I haven't found the pitch marks yet, but the hole shot is pretty quick. P.S. That is running on saltwater. I have noticed a loss of about 2 mph on fresh water compared to salt in my previous boat. Bob
