I'm still under the 20 hour mark so I haven't pushed it, but we we're cruising comfortably at 30mph (GPS land speed) at about 5,000 rpms this weekend on flat seas. The dealer sold it with a different prop than Honda supplies and took us on a sea trial to test it out. I am very pleased. My buddy and I tend not to run too far and do a lot of drift fishing for flounder during the summer months, so I didn't opt for the bigger Honda. We also run to flocks of birds when we see them. I think this motor will suit our needs really well.
