[QUOTE="thill, post: 343111, member: 4972"] That 40 runs nicely! What is your top speed? Looked like you were backing off a bit in the vid. I'm sure my 40 would be fast, but I tend to go out in heavy seas, and the lighter the motor, the higher the transom floats, and the safer and seaworthy she will be. I've seen the back of a small boat go ker-plunk with too much weight in the back, and it's not a pretty sight. That's why I'm trying to figure out whether a 30 or 35 carb will do me any good... If not, I think I'm sticking with this engine. It does 23-25 as currently rigged, which I'm happy with. I think I need to go down a prop size, though... not sure yet. Thanks. -TH [/QUOTE]
