Anyone here running a 115 HP on a 1775 Pro-V?
I'm looking at a few Lund Pro-V's and they have a 115 HP on them.
I know that they're not maxed out and that will get a few saying they need to be....but for those of you that have them, what are your performance numbers? |

If it were me I would max the HP or get a larger motor. I bought one boat rated for 75 and it had a 40 on it, thinking I was saving money when in the long run it was a pretty bad decision, I was never happy with the performance and always kicked myself for doing it in the ensuing years.

It's a used boat so I'm not changing it.

Thank you! That would work fine for me...42mph is plenty and probably won't reach that speed on 75% of the lake I fishe anyway. |
There were a lot of those sold... and 42 (GPS) is accurate.
Some were a tad faster. |

Thanks guys.
T Mac: Even the new ones I've looke at are equipped with the 115. Only one hasn't been. If I was buying new, I'd get the 150, but I'm looking at used ones right now. Thanks again guys. |
My buddy had an older 1775 ProV with a 115 Evinrude, the boat ran great, jumped up on plane and ran right around 42.

I have a Merc 115 offshore on a 1890 Pro V. I have no complaints, I can run about 33 on the GPS. I don't fish tournaments anymore so I enjoy the fuel savings over the speed loss.
