Yeah, mine is just a tiller 40 on an 18 foot aluminum PolarKraft wide beam, with no carpet. It is just a basic fishing boat. With 5 adult men and gear (including a couple guys who could lose a few pounds, Lol), this thing just leaps out of the water! Top end is only about 29mph, but man, it gets there with no effort, at all.
