I've been spending time this year fishing out of my 2021 Ranger multi-species fishing boat. Its a Ranger 622FS, about 23' long with a Mercury 400hp engine, 15hp trolling motor, electric trolling motor, 3 Garmin fish finders plus a bunch of other stuff. Mostly use it on Lake Huron (One of the 5 Great Lakes) fishing for walleye, bass, lake trout, steelhead and salmon. It should run about 60 mph but I haven't tried it yet.

Should easily do 60mph.  I hope you raise that 15hp up while using the monster outboard !!!  Expensive outboard !!   I remember back in 1979 we put a 150hp Evinrude XP (2 stroke) on a 16ft Checkmate.  Some scary shit, but was fun.  But that 400 should easily hit 60.  Raise that trim up at full throttle and see how fast it goes !!!

congrats Burt nice ride 

i noticed lower unit been replaced already, slow speeds how does it proform? a  cavitation plate/whale tail will help with slow speed steeering and if pulling water skiers up helps  only con is will lose a bit of top speed (some have to drill cav plate of lower unit to install).  know what prop pitch using, use different pitches, low numbers with rise motor RPM's and high numbers lower RPM's.  had  a 50hp Merc on 16ft customcraft tri-hual, pulling skiers used a 9 pitch and for speed used a 10.5  pitch full thottle was @ redline

Thanks Kapt. The lower unit is original. That's the way they come painted from the Merc factory on newer large outboards.

You're correct on trimming up the 15hp motor when using the main motor. Its got power trim :). I keep it down when trailering. I would think a checkmate with a 150 2st could get sketchy.

I really enjoy driving this rig. It handles big water well and makes it small. I can get to where i'm going pretty darn fast.

Yeah I notice at our local marina that the mercs have that silver color on the bottom.  May be a corrosion resistant paint ?  Along with anodes.
