Re: Matching boat with motor…..

[sydinnj]

With no tag the rule of thumb for safe weight in the boat, which includes motor, gear and people is length X width divided by 15 X 150.

My old miro craft is a 12 ft and I did 19.6 with my daughters Merc KE-4, actually it was scary at that speed. It was dancing up on plane. Now I think about it we had the same motor on my friends 14ft row boat and it did well with two of us.
I actually have acouple of these motors that I would sell or trade if anyone is looking for one.
