Polly or boat?

[ndod833]

So my 15ft panther aluminum hull w/ 350 engine goes maybe 15-20 mph with two people and no gear on open water. The Polly is pretty bad. My question is how much faster could I realistically expect to go with fresh Polly, and does new Polly really make that much of a difference.

Thanks gents

Poly can make one heck of a difference depending on what the problem is with it. If it is wavy, it will cause more friction with the water's surface creating more drag. And it only takes a small piece hanging off to me like trying to drive down the road standing on the brakes

No problem! I tore a small spot on mine years ago and it started plowing real bad and would barely move in open water wide open
