ran 4 200+ pound people, full fuel, and ice. The 175 chugged right along 22- 25mph cruise . . . 36 top end. It did strain a little in the swell at 3200 - 3500rpm. Above and below that rpm range was fine. Burned a LOT more fuel than running solo. boat still planes at 11mph.
Not bad - better than I expected. Run it with a 225 hp and note the difference !
