    Hello sir, I have a 1995 181 with a Mariner Mag 3 150. I added a 6” rapid jack and 2 8’ sportsman poles late last fall. I have not had open water to test top speed yet. I have been able to do hole shots on a smaller local lake and can tell you mine still gets on plane in about 2-3 seconds, the poles didn’t change that a bit.
