Lakes around here, anything more than 30mph will get you in trouble, most of them just aren't big enough. I still see guys with their brand new Merc 200's doing 70 for all of the 5 seconds before they have to shut it down because they're across the lake already.

Just waiting for the next one to run it aground....happens several times every year.

I have a 70hp Johnson on my boat, i would like to get a 90 though as that's what the hull is rated for.

50HP Evinrude E-TEC on a 88 Ranger 18' tiller

Does 33MPH on a good day (GPS)

My dad is trying to get a 20' Ranger tiller with a 150 H.O. E-TEC on it.

I love my Rangers and Evinrudes...
