A hair slower WOT perhaps, but excellent cruising torque curve and economy, incredible economy through manatee zones.
"bitsamonkey" had incredible numbers from the Suzuki 90 on his 18,also...

Thanks for bitsamonkey's link, the numbers look really good but the question brought up about staying up on plane at lower speed was not addressed and I would also like to know about that. The command thrust is slightly heaver at 363lbs. but that's still doable, if I relocate my starting battery from the transom compartment to the console it should float at an identical level its at now and she's sitting just right.
Anxious to hear more about the subject, please keep it coming.
