Re: are these numbers real?
Tony, I knew the earlier boats were heavier, but didn't know when that changed and had no idea it was so much weight, it's literally a ton of weight. Thanks for the info.

Re: are these numbers real?
Spec sheets are from 02, I don’t recall repowers looking to reduce shaft angle back then. I’d bet stock 15°angle. There was also a stock 10°angle setup in the early years. That was for gas motors with no reduction and small 15” wheels and 1-1/4” shafts. Personally I think it’s advantageous to speed,...

Re: are these numbers real?
What jumps out at me is the 9600 pound boat weight.
My Express with gas motors, 162 gallon tank, and no water was 14000 pounds. I’d think if my boat went on a diet losing 4,400 pounds it would have much better performance numbers.
