The article also states the boat does 38 KNOTS top end. On the powerboat reports page, there is a chart of fuel flow information. At 5600 rpm's, the boat is burning 20gph and the top end is only 33.4kts and 38mph. That seems really slow until you realize it is swinging a 15" pitch prop. I wonder why my old tired 225 could swing a 17" prop? Are these v6 4 strokes that low in torque????

Ignoring the typo at 4000 rpm's and assuming everything else is right, that Honda is weak compared to a optimax 225 or dare I say my little 115hp 4 stroke Suzi's. I would have to see how the Yamaha 4 stroke or the hpdi 250 did before I ever bought that Honda.
