Everett that particular boat will be doiung VERY well to runlow 40's. To heavy of a hull. Excellant boat but not a fast one by no means.

Its a 14 ft. mirrocraft with a 25 hp Merc.I had a 20 hp merc, but the lowerunit froze and broke the casting during the winter, so I found this used 25 hp fairly cheap. The starter went on me last fall, I have got to get a new starter($135.00 for a new one) or keep pull starting it.It starts easy enough, but I like to turn the key and go.Those Nissans are a very nice motor for boats our size..P N J

i would bet money that the r61 outweighs mine by 800 pounds easy.. i would say depending on set up low to mid 40's on a good day with my lard butt in it 36 gps if the water is flat..

my buddy is selling his 17 foot ranger with a 115 on it. it only goes 52 in flat water..

Here is my little tin can/sail in the wind:



I really need to unwinterize it and get out on the water. This year is not giving me any time though, still at work now.

I had the boat at work. Those are hydraulic oil drums for the machines we build here, tube and pipe benders. I have cleaned it up a bit since then but it really needs new carpet. I do plan on welding on some of those guide posts to the trailer before I take it out this year. It is hard to load by myself.

Default The New One in the Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my new boat, just got a lake house in texas and wanted to get a boat to go with it. I got a great deal from a dealer in the area.

Shes the 2005 Z-22 Comanche from Ranger

22 foot long
250 Yamaha VMAX HPDI
75 pound Minn Kota
Garmin electronics
Hot Foot
Some other goods as well

Seems big but really easy to fish with, such a low draft with the motor up. Shes hard to trailer though!

Hope you like her as much as i do

I took her out a couple weeks ago when i was back in the states. She was showing 74 mph when i had her open all the way. I didnt bother looking at the GPS though. Im sure it was running low 70s though. When im back ill check it out. I coulda got a 300 yamaha but the boat would have been a ton more..the 250 was brocken in by a yamaha pro anyways...runs amazing! I still dont think she could out run my ski though...well see. Ill put my son on the ski next time im back and see whos got it.

ski boat will get the hole shot. yammaha 250 v-max is an awesome moter it is 3.1 liter uses the same power head as the 225 and the 300 the only differance is the computer controled firing system. and the lower unit gearing.. mind you the 300 is actually 275 horse power.

Also a VERY good friend of mine owned a V19 with a warmed over 175 that really hauled the mail. Man post up some numbers on that rig. Very interesting colors.

Man love them Lasers. Right now I am in the middle of a restoration of a 16ft Vhull Laser ie....transom and stringers and loosing some weight while at it. Got a 2.5 chrome bore pushing 235 @ the propshaft going on her. Its been a LONG time in doing so but the end rewards are gonna be a lighting fast boat I can fish ANYWHERE. What kinda numbers where ya getting with your LTV. I know where there is one but dont want to do another transom replace right now. Also hows the norris running. Post up some numbers on them 2 beauty's.
