I am assuming the last letter in the HIN# would be for the month it was built? A=Jan, B=Feb, C=March, D= April, E=May, F=June and so on
-
Number says .... 1976
Must be !
What are you getting for mph ?

Not sure about last letter ... Think Rich knows ...
RICH .. Help ...

I haven't had it full throttle yet. I have only had it out on the Lake one time for its intial shakedown. The boat sat for a couple of years and I wanted to work the bugs out first before starting to hammer on the throttle. Kind of like breaking in a new motor at this point. I can say that half throttle was at around 35MPH. Seems to come out of the hole nice and up on plain very quick. I want to confirm speed with my GPS and will bring that with next time out. I hope to have it out on the water later this week. I am just finishing up replacing the deck and a few other details. The 125HP with the right prop should haul the mail. I was at Express Composites Friday afternoon to pick up all my supplies including the pour in 2# foam. Reinforced the bottom side of the plywood and used Cabosil/Resin to lock the plywood securely to the hull and stringer. Stringer and transom were solid. I got lucky I guess. I still have to do the 50" overlay on top of the plywood deck and I am going to gelcoat the interior off white, not sure if I am going to recarpet it or not at this point. You could hold a dance on this floor. It is rock solid already.
Any idea of what top speed should be with the 125 HP Force outboard?

Got mine late last year, so only a test drive and one time on the St.Croix with a 20P Lazer II prop that had my motor over reving to about 5600 rpms ( 89 Mariner 115 hp , max rpm's is 5250 rpm's ).
I got 49.5 mph on gps with the 20P.
22P will hopefully get me to 52 -53 mph ...
Gonna do some prop testing soon ...

Is that a 13-1/4" X 20P?
-
I am hoping to get close to 60 MPH out of her. I may be dreaming but with some fine tuning and the correct prop it might be possible. If I can eliminate any drag from the bottom of the hull by super buffing the bottom side of the boat and laying down some super slick wax, who knows 65 MPH? lol
-
Yep ...
13 1/4 x 20
This will get ya over 60 mph ...

I had better reinforce the transom for that motor and I suppose I had better take and put 120 HP stickers on the hood so at least it looks legal. lol

Nah, I am getting too old for racing anymore. If I was him I would make it a sleeper and rebadge that motor (hood) with a 120 decal to at least look legal. US Coast Guard wouldn't be too happy to see that much HP on that boat. The fine I believe is something like $2500 on International waterways. Sheriff and/or DNR might and I say MIGHT be a little more lenient when it comes to overpowering a boat that is rated max 120HP
