Do you have a gas tank or batteries towards the front of your boat or do you keep all the weight in the back?
Cajun,
I've got a problem with my jon boat porpoising. It is a 1648 with 7 degrees V on the bottom. Motor is a 70hp Johnson with 19 pitch omc SST prop. The cavitation plate is 1.5" above the...

Hooking the hull worked for me. 1/8" on just the outside strakes was all it took.
Cajun,
I have read a post of yours on another forum that said a 16' boat will run 3-4mph slower than a 15' boat. What can I do to minimize this? I assume it is mostly the weight distribution?
How was the yamaha prop modified to allow you to go from 3" above to 6" above?
Sorry for the elementary question, but if I operate in water no less than 3' deep would I be better served to just raise my motor on the transom until I loose water pressure or cavitate?
Cajun,
Will a jackplate on an aluminum boat do much for speed or is it primarily for shallow running? Is there a hub available to run this yamaha prop on a V4 OMC (13 spline, 4.25")?
Thanks

Any more advice on setting up an aluminum boat? I've got a 1648 with about 7* V on the bottom with a 70hp Johnson tiller. How much setback should I start with? I need to run a prop with a hub...
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the service bulletins mentioned previously?
I compared the part numbers between the two motors, the only difference I can find is the carburetors.
I found these carburetors from a 1990 70hp Johnson. Will they swap on my 1992 60hp Johnson? ...
Thanks powerabout. I am not familiar with the work pak? Is it an acronym?
Thanks Mark. Will I be alright to run it wide open with a light load for extended periods of time (10-15 minutes), or is running over 5500 not a good idea?
I have a 1992 Johnson 60hp 3-cyl (56ci) J60TTLENE that I need a prop for. Should I pitch to 5500rpm or go higher? I am looking for the best performance without sacrificing reliability. Also, any...
