How fast will a carolina skiff go

I'm sure with a good load your sitting close to s. I had a 13ft Malibu with a 25 2 stroke and it would run about 25 or 30 with a ish load and about 20 with My brother was like and my dad and I were both around Plus we had gear and other stuff.

Small boats make lower speeds seem faster, so does small water. Top end wise the 2 and 4 usually don't make much of a difference, it's usually the planning speed. Most hulls have a max speed and rpms and prop pitch have big effects on top end speed. I've had a J 16 for 20 plus years, and run a Merc 2 stroke 25 and it did well but I changed to a 4 blade prop and it sure changed the preformace for better hole shot, speed and load increase'.

I ran a 50 Yamaha 2 stroke till the oiler quit and it locked up and went back to the 25 the 50 did well but it slid on turns. Great little no frill boat.

I have had 3 grown men and 4 bushels of oysters in it still going 20 mph. It is the driest riding small boat I have been in and I have had it in some nasty stuff in the harbor.
