Juan, I have no idea on the 40hp numbers but with my 9.9 kicker I can get close to 7mph. You'll save alot of gas.
One thing I've always heard is there's only so fast your boat can go without planing. If the boat planes at 15 - 20 mph, and you know a 40 won't plane it (pretty safe bet), then my guess is your top end with the 40hp will be somewhere in the 10 - 12 mph range. Let us know how it works out. Blue

Not trying to be a buzz kill, but don't forget the weight difference. You take 300 pounds off the transom and all of a sudden your riding with your bow in the water. I only mention because I took the engine off of a boat before and had to switch trailers. I figured I would just float it off and onto the other trailer. MAN did I have a time trying to float the boat with the stern in the air.

Ferm, that's easy. Once in the water just pull the plug and do a slow 60 count. Nothing like some good ballast.
