Hi all,
I take delivery of a new 119c next week. I didn't order a jack plate or power poles so I was wondering what I can expect out of the boat stock? It is a dual console.
Thank you

Looking at getting a 6" JP and a 175vmax hpdi series 2 thats new on the shipping crate. Think I can expect 10-12 more mph with a light load?
Not bad for a 27 year old motor! Would love to get a pic at 60mph, but just have not hit it yet...getting closer!Attachment 198057
