I've got the 90 that JohnC referenced. The engine has ~150 hrs and ~2,200 miles. I'm happy with the motor. It is still running an aluminum 15 pitch prop and top speed with normal load is 32-33 mph(stainless would probably increase mph & mpg). It jumps up on plane quick and averages around 4.5 mpg for the day. I will say this, I grew up on bass boats fishing tournaments and if I was fishing larger lakes exclusively I'd want a faster boat. The ocean out of Santa Barbara is rarely flat enough to run much faster than I do.
