    Good deal….now it is time to take the next step.
    The 15hp you have is probably a 1956 as in 1957 the engine was turned into an 18hp.
    The 15 would be a good place to start on that hull. I would expect to see 25mph + or – with that engine. The 1953 25hp is a great engine performance wise and will be a good one to step up when you get used to the 15.
    Here are two videos you can see of the Model R running. One with the 18hp and one with the 25hp.
