    I have a 24', '07, pontoon boat, 25" tubes. I put a new merc 115 hp, CT on it last year with a spitfire (merc) 4 blade, 14x14 prop. With just me on board I'd get 26-27 mph @ about 56-5700 rpm's....that being said.. All the previous advice above needs to be addressed, specifically why the...

    1986 lowe 160 16ft -motor weight problems

    Does the boat should have a data plate that says what the maximum hp limit is? If it does, and being an 80's boat, whatever the weight is for a motor of that hp back then would be the max weight you should put on the boat.

    trailer tires, sizes, ratings..and switching...

    I've got a 24' 07 Lowes pontoon boat with a new 115hp merc. CT. motor. The stock, karavan tandem wheel trailer runs on the large 10" tires., load range "E". I've wondered if going to a 12" wheel/tire would be better except that the highest load range available is "D". I like the idea that my...

I'm expecting delivery of a new Merc 115 hp command thrust motor in July. I hope, and think, there's something going on with your boat as with the money I will spend...
