[QUOTE="Skidz, post: 240346, member: 3920"] Well, it will get you where you want to go, but it sure won't be speedy by any means. I was thinking that maybe the fuel savings might be substantial over a larger engine, but if all you do is plow through the water at WOT, I would think that savings might be minimal, and you probably won't be happy with the performance. I've read several times that the minimum hp on a boat should be around 75% of rated capacity. HTH Skidz [/QUOTE]
