is 50 hp merc too much?

It's my first boat so I really have no comparison. I've never GPSed it, but from riding in other peoples and from people riding with me I would guess it does mid 40's and to me it's fast enough. The boat floats really well and that's what I wanted from it. Does anyone know about how much my boat weighs on or off the trailer?

ok, just wondering... I have a 50 yam 2 stroke and i get about 32mph with 3 peeps loaded to the gills... Thanks for the info. Might not be worth it for me to burn more fuel

Probably about 1,800 fully loaded, with the trailer about 2,100
