Anyone running a Lund Pro Guide 2010 with a 115 hp?

[btmbncr]

I've been looking at Pro Guides lately 2010 or 1825.I'm an old time tiller guy.I was wondering if anyone was running this boat with either a 115 Optimax or 115 4 Stroke on it? If so how is it's performance?Thanks

I think it'd be safe to say you wouldnt get anywhere near that top speed once you get batterys/full tank of fuel/electric trolling motors and a passenger or two on board. Im getting that for top speed on my new alaskan/115 four stroke.

If you find out btmbncr - I'd like to know too.

I'm sure it would be propped to troll well. Like mentioned, I wonder how much of that performance information posted on the test sites will go away once the boat is loaded with fishing gear etc. It's an interesting setup, but on the downside, the difference in price between a 115 and a 150, 175, 200 hp is not all that much, so it's still pretty close to the price of a bigger motor.

[115 optimax]

My 1725 Pro Guide/115 Optimax does 43mph,2 guys,full live wells and full tank.Empty wells,half tank and 2 guys = 46mph 13x19 AL prop.The break in period is almost up.Going to put a 13x18 Vengeance SS prop on it.The 2010/115 would be way under powered once you load the boat.Spend the extra $$$ on a bigger engine,you won't be sorry.

I have a 2010 with 115 etec hole sot is good and it will do 40MPH with myself and gear it will do 38.5 with two or three people and gear

THere is a guy that fishes on my lake with a 2010 Pro Guide and a 135. I don't know how he has things set up, but his boat sure plows water, (his spray starts right at the bow). Usually on lunds, they tend to have the spray starting way back.
