I have run my 1957 Rocket Runabout II with 1954 Evinrude Big Twin 25hp electric start, 1956 Johnson Javelin 30hp electric start, 1960 Mercury 300 35hp electric start & alternator. On all combos 12volt group 24 full size 500 amp battery mounted in the right rear along with a six gallon and a 2 1/2 or 3gallon fuel tanks in the rear of the boat all full of fuel and with me driving from the right front seat and the motor trimmed with the cavitation plate parallel to the bottom of the boat and never had a problem with porpoising or planing off the boat and ran at speeds of high twenties to low thirties mph.
