[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 155330, member: 3833"] I ran it as-purchased on a lake in WI that my inlaws live on. With about 6 gal gas and 350lbs of people it ran 19mph GPS. 17mph with about 650lbs of people. I only ran it once with just me, but didn't check the speed. It planed higher and felt faster, so I'm guessing around 21. I also pulled my wife on a tube and was pleasantly suprised. I think I could've tossed her off if I'd been trying. The boat is rated for a 40HP. I do have an '05 Johnson 9.9 long shaft I could put between them if there is room. Wouldn't that be crazy? Probably wouldn't be safe if I couldn't link the throttle cables together somehow. One engine wide open doesn't do much, so if you need to slow down in a hurry, killing one will do it. [/QUOTE]
