[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 418972, member: 13975"] I got to try out the new motor yesterday. That thing is so much more powerful than the older 9.9 I have. With the same load and 2 guys the 9.9 was doing only 14-15mph @4900 rpms with a 10" prop. With this 15hp and a 8" pitch prop we were hovering right at 19mph @6800 rpms. I will have to see how the 10" prop works on this motor as I need to get the rpms down a few hundred plus it is way underpitched for a single person. Hopefully I can get it propped to run 23-24 with just me and at least 20 with 2 guys with a single prop...then save the 8 pitch for 3 or more guys which will be rare. [/QUOTE]
