That boat looks sharp.

this boat has a padded bottom so it is a different game than a regular j-boat

I know that, I was just curious because I'd like to own one someday.

Im looking for a Pro Series Yamaha for daily duty and a chopper prop...

And yes i can run it by myself... no problems... other than holding on to the tiller.

4 people in the boat and it will still do in the 40's...

If you want speed, the 70 has to go. 2.33 gearing The 90 is bigger, don't sweat the weight and the 90 has 2.0 gearing which is better for speed. Where do you live? We can throw my 90 on it for a day. I have many props also, even for the 70 if it can turn the pitch.

Im in Conway, SC, I really wanted to get a 90 but I got a screamin deal on this motor with the Falcon I couldnt pass up(either way ill make money). And have my tiller arm ready for a 90 when I get one.

Im turning a 19 pitch semi cleaver to Over 6000 rpms right now. I cant go W.O. with just me in the boat, I dont want to run a stock motor that high of rpms.
