[QUOTE="jethro, post: 356866, member: 12381"] I don't know if this experience will apply, but I have two identical 3 hp 1958 Evinrude Fastwin motors. I got one for free and the other one I bought cheap as it didn't run. I got them both running real good and mounted them on the stern of my very lightweight 12' Grumman row boat. What I found out is that the two motors together actually SLOWED me down when they were both at full throttle. As soon as I pulled one of the motors up (and it didn't matter which one) the boat went about 1 mph faster. Maybe this is just the case with very small hp motors, but I thought I might just share my experience. [/QUOTE]
