thanks, i got a 15x17 on there right now and got 40mph @5000 before i put the furniture in, i added aprox 600lbs and got 38mph @ 5000 in really choppy conditions, I am going to try out a 15x15 and hopefully get the rpms over 5500 and hopefully pick up a few mph. when you look under the boat it is definitely a pontoon, the looks from the front are a little deceiving, there are 2 side pontoons shaped similar to a u shaped pontoon with a vhull style nose cone and a 2 part center pontoon (the center looks more like a small vhull)

thanks, I painted the fence and added a little more bling last week, looking for a cool metallic red stripe to use on the waterline. I also got the new 15x15 prop in and installed, hopefully we will get some good weather so I can try it out this weekend, hopping to get over 5500rpms and stay over 40mph.
