We put a new 90 eTec on the '71 20CC and it was amazing with 13-¾" x 15 s/s prop. Handles both heavy loads and 37 mph WOT.

The '67 19 Bowrider came with a 90 eTc with a 13-¾" x 13 s/s prop. Killer hole shot and tubing with several on board, but over-revs to 5600 at only 31 MPH. Will go with the 15" in the Spring.

I don't see the point in adding any more weight or HP for these hulls unless you have a speed fetish, death wish or money to burn. The fact that they push so much data to a NMEA 2000 device is awesome, particularly fuel flow.

Tohatsu's 4 strokes are allegedly (according to my 'hatsu dealer) re-badged Honda motors.

Ocuyler,
You are right. I run a 13-3/4" x 14" Power Tech on my E-tec 90 bolted to a saw-zalled Bowrider. 3500 rpms = 18.9 Knots with 3 divers, 7 tanks, 150# of coolers and ice, and dive gear. 76 miles round trip - 18 gallons. If you go any faster than 24 MPH on the way home it blows the Elixer out of your Solo Cup! What's the hurry and what are they think'in? Why don't they just R-E-L-A-X.

Hey, I know that dock!!! It's where big snook live and crazy CSC folks go for a good time!! :)

Heard they hide shine there.

Big snook, 'shine and crazy csc folks, huh? sounds like a great place...

I understand some of yall old farts like it slow and there is nothing wrong with that, hey one day I might even want a slow bote, but sum guys like to go fast! Gas prices dropping, im ready to boost up the fuel pressure on my efi and fatten the fuel curve and get there. I may be different if I lived in the sunny state of FL where I could catch sails with in sight of land but here a run to the 100 fathom line is a haul. 60 miles out just to the color break, you spend half the day getting there and back. Now putting around the backwater is different but making those runs out its nice to have a 60 mph+ bote. Maybe one day when I am an ol retired fart and move down to south Fl I can do sum of that slow boating - Relaxing yall r talkin about...

A Potter 20 run with a 90hp motor? Sure, No problem! Light weight and low plane speed is king. In the ruff conditions its all ya need! But on those snotty days when the seas are kicking up, passing those guys with contenders, fountains, and SeaVees with an old wore out 1968 model hull.... Priceless

"I understand some of yall old farts like it slow"

Old farts?? I resemble that remark and proud of it! Heck, I never thought I would make it this far anyway, so to me this is bonus time! :)

after 65 it's all Mileage :o

Donny, I think the confusion is that Friz is measuring "Preformance" in Miles Per Hour, and we measure it in Pounds per Gallon. We've been out there working all day like Confederate Sharp Shooters and not Hot Rod'in around in the SeaCraft! You can't read no bottom machine at 60 MPH, not even Kenny's.
I guess what we just got here is the full "Band Width" of SeaCraft users on this site and what is important to some just don't mean squat to others - it's too funny!
Sometimes what we got here is "Failure to Communicate", Boss.
