I have a 14' fiberglass hustler made by skip jack. It has a 50hp evinrude. I would say it weights around 1000lbs. I would like to know what would be top speed for this boat.<br />How much difference is there between boat speed and vechile speed.
I would guess about 35 mph.<br /><br />Small boat speeds are usually calibrated in miles, not knots, so there is no difference between car and boat speed for your purpose.
Rob - In my family there is a difference. If I am doing 35mph in my boat I am happy. If my wife is doing 35 mph in a car she isn't doing it for long. Kids used to call her Mamma Lead Foot. She hits 35 commin out of our short driveway.
Say that I do have a problem, what size prop should I use. I think that the prop that is on my motor is the original. I do know that it is aluminium. I have no idea of the pitch.
