Is 115 enough motor for 1900v

Anyone know how fast a Yamaha 115 2 stroke  2001 model will push

a 2001 1900v Pathfinder.

Thanks

I'd guess 40ish. Depending on how the boat is rigged and weight/gear. The prop also plays a significant part  

My RF18 w/ Yam V115 gets to 42 at 5700 if I work the jack plate and I believe there's room for improvement. But it seems common to give up hole shot for top end speed.

I had a 2000 Bayfisher 18 which was a 18'10" hull, very similar if not identical to the 1900, except for the freeboard. I ran a 3 blade prop, don't even remember what it was, and could hit 40, maybe 42 by myself.  The 115 was a good motor for that hull.  Some days i would have liked more power, but it did a pretty good job on that boat.

I had a 1900 with 115 2 stroke. It's the right motor for that boat.  I had a 3 blade when I bought it and could hit 47, but hole shot was very poor and would blow out with almost any trim. Switched to a 4 blade 17p powertech and could get 43ish with good holeshot and great grip.
