[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 415810, member: 13975"] Here is a very poor video I shot the other day of me running the old Sportwin on the boat. In the front of the boat I have the TM, TM battery, front seat, and tackle box. In the middle I had 3 rods/reels, an empty cooler, and my stall mat floor. And in the rear was just me at 165 lbs and maybe 3 gallons of gas. Had the motor trimmed to its highest position and ran in without the hood to mitigate an exhaust leak. It ran 15mph very consistently and would touch 16 if I leaned it out to about 1/2 out from lightly seated (but idle quality took a hit). Motor was turning about 4700 rpms (5000 listed as max of the WOT range). I ran it set up similarly prior to that with my dad in it as well, who is about my size, and saw 15 mph there also. I just got my 9.9 hp driveshaft unseized and also rebuilt the carb on my 15 hp so I'm eager to see what performance increase I see since both have higher rpm operating ranges and larger props. I would be super happy with 20 mph with two people. [url]https://www.youtube.com/embed/_UfTqvTL3NM[/url] [/QUOTE]
