so last year i bought a beater boat, its a mid to late 80's peterberough with an early 70's 55hp johnson, I had seen the motor running out of the water but due to buying it late in the year didnt get it out at all.
well with the prop being beat to hell, and the hull faded and in desperate need of a pait job and a gel coat i didnt expect too much. but low and behold i get it out in the lake and put around for a while and after letting it get some gas through it and open it up the thing plains out like a dream and gets up to about 40mph.
i still cant quite believe it, this little thing stayed side by side with a much newer crest liner with an 85hp.
