Hey Shrek,

I get just over 5 mph with the 7.5 hp. It has a very flat two blade prop. It is great for trolling with downriggers but would be marginal for a get home motor if the wind or tide was against you. I use it because I had it before the 210. If I was getting a new motor, it would be a 9.9 hi-thrust so I could definitely get home in a good wind. Plenty of thrust for steerage from the 7.5 also. I would also recommend a motor with two cylinders instead of just one. Less shaking going on.
