I am looking forward to the results. I think 38mph will be the top end number. And 4mpg.

I can't wait either . . . It's gonna be a long wait. 38mph is in the ball park of what I'm expecting with a 15P enertia.

Here's another few data points.

1. Sailfish 220 basically a 23 seacraft hull - 18 inches tested at 4450lbs with a single Mercury 150. It's turning a Rev 4 SLOW arse bulldozer prop. Enertias are WAY WAY faster.

2. Capt Bone alerted me to a 25 Bertram owner that repowered with this same engine and it reportedly hits 32 knots (36.8mph)

3. 1987 Mercury 175hp powerhead on my 200mid and lower pushed my 23 to 43mph.
