Our 37XL was re-powered a number of years ago. We now have a 47 hp tubo spinning an 18" dia three blade feathering prop.
We get no more useful performance that Edd or Josh get now with their 35 hp engines. "2400 RPMs, I can hit 7.2 knots ... pretty easily." We do the same. "Under full power the tip of the transom is submerged 2-3 inches." We get that too. Wide open at 3600 rpm we get about 8 knots and submerge the transom a bit more than 2" to 3", probably 4" or 5". And use a ton more fuel in the process. Not very useful. Ken H.
