Little out there, but you oughta be about as close to it as any of us. Unless CTT buys my 315HP MERCRUISER and drops it in his:clap:.

If I ever break down and buy a GPS I might find out.

If you were closer I would loan ya one of mine, or better yet pace you in my FLATS boat. Had it up to 59 a couple weeks back with a 1/4 tank of fuel and 2 people on board. Although my girlfriend pretty well said she wouldn't let me go that fast again in a boat with her in it. Got her attention when she seen the speed and I launched off a wake of another boat:you:.

that merc auction is ending today in 1 hr .. price is up to $830 with 7 bids. hmmm... compression worries me though on that one cylinder.

There are THOUSANDS of outboard motors out there, no need in buying one that worries you.

Yeah Brad; he says it does close to 60. He's got a 225 jonny on his 20 fisherman. Do you have any idea what yours can do?

:bsflag:I think he is full of chips

I'll let you all know if a V20 with a 225 Evinrude will do 60 real soon. Right after I move, rent out my old house, fix the transom on the boat, and get it all rigged.... O.K. maybe not too soon, This list is depressing me.

that 150 merc went for 1236.00 .. too much with that miss and those compression numbers ..

search is still on.

my boat right now will do nowhere near 60 .... actually it will not even do 15 :) bought it with a blown sea drive.

60 would be nice .. i am a bit of a speed demon, at least on the ground .. but 40 on the water seems fast to me.

if the guy with the yamaha 200 replies back to me, may go look at that one.

looks like batteries to front is a good idea no matter what. or i can sit my fat @$$ up there and let the wife drive ...

on second thought .. skip that .. bad idea.
