I have a 14 f Glasstream bass boat 91 model that needs power. I also have a spare pro v 150 yamaha. whats going to happen if I put em together? would i need to use a jack plate? would i need set back? or could I just be insane? my wife thinks thats a real possibility What do ya'll think.

I don't think its a good idea, too much weight for that boat.

i have a 15 foot glasstream bassboat with a 85 johnson on it.. runs 45mph... wouldn't wanna go with a much heavier motor.. might try a 135 or 140 on it at the most...

Glasstream 15V / 115 IL6.

Right now I'm getting 58 GPS from it. Repropping I think I can get 60+. May try a 150 on it next year depending on finances.

That little 14 is rated for 60 or 75. I'd really be afraid to go over 90 HP with it. It's not designed for it and would most likely be more than a handfull.

My $0.04

Just post photos

I'd give it 18 inches of setback with 100 lbs hanging on the nose for stability...

We've heard of worse overpowered rigs:D

Can't ya find a nice used Hydrostream or something somewhere?:D :D :D

BTW, I had a 14'6" 'Tron one time, with a 90 Merc inline on it, it was a handfull, but I didn't know what setup even was back then. ;)

Before and after is good.

But you do your homework, anything is possible---- Thats how folks became heros. They did it because others said it couldn't be done.

Oh and yes, I just finished the book on Gen. Chuck Yeager. A good one.

It would be intersting. I'm not going to say one way or another. I have a 200 on a 16' checkmate.

I know this thread is 2 years old but.....I had the same boat with a 1995 Johnson SST-60 race motor.With a 23p hopkins cleavor it would run in the low 70s!!!!I cant imagine what it would do with a 150!!Did you ever try it???
