Very, very Cool.

My 1997 15 Whaler with a 60 HP Yamaha 4stroke runs 41 but the chine walk is dramatic over 39......

I have a two-stroke Johnson, two different props. I did not raise the X dimension on this Whaler. On the previous 13s and 15s I had usually had a 2" piece of wood under the (on the transom) outboard to raise the X-dimension.

I do not experience any chine walking at 41 mph, I trim the boat way-out, watch my tach, watch my speedometer, and drive it like a Hydrostream. Get your Whaler dialed-in.

Boating in the Whaler is fun.

Fastest I ever been in a boat-99 mph in my 272
Funnest ride I ever been on was holding it at wot for 20 minutes going east the long way around bois blanc island in lake huron trying to get back to the locks before they stopped for the night back when it only had 700 hp. My wife and passengers kept looking at me like when is he ever going to let off?? Smitty

Bought mine from a super anal whaler nut. He re-rigged it like it was a brand new boat. New Mills bimini top, new trailer, new cushions (in anniversary Whaler material), underseat neon lights right down to a new Optima battery. He liked the Yamaha 60 but it is bigger/heavier than a 70hp/ 2 stroke so he didn't go crazy with the x dimension but it is up a couple of holes from the lowest setting. My 41 was on a handheld GPS and it was trimmed high at 5500 rpm. I can run 38-39 no trouble but at 40-41 it can chine wildly if the water is sloppy.

He was going 110 and wanted to see what it would do in R....he thought it meant "Race". Got a couple more out of it before it blew.
