so curt , your running a 18 ft with a 150hp. aluminum boat..at 55mph? and wanting more? i wish i had a copy or some pics of my friends old boat..folded in half....i love speed . i run at 63/65 mph in a 19f stratos vlo..150 merc. fiberglass...that aluminum is scary no thanks
Not sure what kind of boat your friend had, but the G3 isn't your typical Tracker style hull. It's actually designed with a pad, unlike the Trackers, Lowes, etc.
And I know that 54-55 is already plenty fast. I just think a boat that weighs so little, with a 150 HP outboard on it, should be able to run faster. Maybe I'm mistaken.
BTW... what caused your friend's boat to fold in half?
