I'm sure with a V6 on the boat there would be quite a few skeery thrills  Sorry I missed ya Rich, this weekend was just too darn hectic for me. I'm sure we'll meet up this coming spring/summer at one of the Whaler gt'gs, maybe I'll have my 21 all finished. I go back and forth on selling the 13 and Mischief, we'll see. I just hate the thought of letting it sit in the shop and not using it constantly.

I know the feeling Bob.. but then you have to ask - is it costing you much to keep it? Would you miss it? Could you get one back in the same shape for the same money down the road? I think I will probably have my 13 for a very long time. Its a timeless boat thats built like a tank.
I know in the end you will make the right decision for you and your wife. Hope your enjoying your Florida sunshine... we hit 60 degrees in NJ today - looking at 70 tomorrow.... Lovin every minute of it.

90hp on the 15" would be just perfect, I think that 90hp should be the HP limit
for the 15" whaler.
I've had a 200hp Merc shortshaft on my Mischief, gets to 60mph in less then 20 seconds...
after that it becomes toooooo dangerous..i once got 65 mph but very scary,
I think thats the "HUllSpeed" of the mischief...!!!!!
90hp on a 15", GO FOR IT, lot of fun!!

Great first post! I sure would love to see pics of that big V6 Merc short shaft on that Mischief.

90s are great fun and can be quite tame for cruising around.
That's why I got rid of mine...

I wasn`t aware the 2.5 Merc XR series Mercurys came with a shortshaft 15" mid and standard gearcase. What gearcase are you using. have only seen them on OPC tunnel hulls Formula 1 boats.

It's a 20" mid sec. carbed 200 hp early 90's lower unit and a '94 powerhead.
Actually, I did this in the summer of 2005...
But we have very rough sea there around the Island...and it was a blast to drive on calm waters, but in rough seas... not very !
When tippin in the throttle after some air time..you could feel the boat like twist/pull to one side...(engine torque)...
So I took the Engine off and sold it....
I also had a 22foot RIB powered by 2x 115 hp Yamaha O/B.
HAd too much trouble with it...leaks all the time...so I sold that one too(early this year), without the engines.
So now 1 of the Yamaha 115hp will power the mischief...
It will not be as much fun as the 200hp Merc, but it will sure be more driveable
in rough seas....!!
I dont have GOOD quality pictures here as I am in europe right now,(Studying).
I do have a small video clip, I'll try to put it up Youtube tomorrow.
Greetzzzz
