Coleman Lantern

Golf not his fixation? Then brighten the campsite, fishing boat or space under the car while enjoying fresh air with the Coleman Quad LED lantern. This churlish light functions as a single lantern, or can be used as four independent detachable panels to move about wherever light is needed.

How fast will my 16' aluminum Smoker Craft Alaskan go with an 18 hp Tohatsu Outboard?

I'm frustrating to choose a motor for my boat, how fast do you think my boat can go with an 18 hp and only one person? The boat isn't that sage and around 300 lbs i think. Thanks!


15 - 17 Knots should be about exactly. It may get 20-22 knots trimmed right out one P.O.P - but with 18 hp you should resist the urge to over prop. The stock prop may be a dwarf too course - 1" down in pitch should be close.

For a 16 foot craft, I would put at least a 30hp on it. With an 18hp, I agree that 15 knots will probably be max speed, as a comparison my 12 footer has a 25hp yamaha, it does around 25 to 27 knots with two on accommodate.

10hp on a 12' aluminum boat.?

Hi how are you? I hardly bought a 12' smoker craft aluminum boat. I also purchased a 10hp johnson seahorse, It's an older one. I clocked it at 11 km/h (full throttle) with my gps. this seamed execrable slow. I even tried to hit some wakes but it didn't

Should get a few more knots from that, perhaps the Dialect heft is a bit far back.
