How fast will my 16' aluminum Smoker Craft Alaskan go with an 18 hp Tohatsu Outboard?
Sep 05, 9746 by Brett H | Posted in Boats & Boating
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 beyond 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 inconsequential too course - 1" down in pitch should be close.

For a 16 foot motor yacht, 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 house.

has anyone used snow roof inside a riveted aluminum boat to prevent leaks?

I have a 17' smoker craft riveted aluminum skiff that has some lose rivets, I have replaced- tightened the questionable rivets and am thinking about putting a coat of snow roof on the reversed before reinstalling the seats and new flooring as it is so
Any improvement must be made on the outside of the hull. No matter what you put on the inside, water will eventually push past.

Hi how are you? I lately 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 ugly slow. I even tried to hit some wakes but it didn't do

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