175 held 10 - 12, 14 17, 20, 24 mph no problem through Buzzards Bay slop . . . topped out 42/43. Supporting video evidence (both calm days) : )

I also ran a 225 3.0L carb Mariner with a Rev4 19P for a few trips. I was shocked by the fuel/oil consumption and sold it. Caper do you recognize the seats?



Seats look great - happy you were able to use them. Your boat is nicely outfitted.
