Question

How fast will a 10 hp boat go?

Answer 1

I can get about 15mph out of my Zodiac with 2 people in it with a 9.9 hp OB.

Answer 2

In general, not very fast.

Answer 3

put your motor on a 8ft hydroplane you might could get upwards of 35mph.

On any other hull, in any conditions, expect 15MPH, 18 max.

Answer 4

Not very fast at all.

Answer 5

The speed of a boat is determined by a lot more than the engine power...  the size and shape of the hull, for instance, as well as the water conditions (smooth vs rough).

Honestly, 10 HP is a fairly small motor, so, unless it's a small boat, then you're not going to get much performance from it.

Answer 6

on the trailer or in the water - lol... 35 to 40 -/\- depends on size of boat too.
