Yea but its extra nice when you can open her up and still get 3mpg @ 5500 @ 36mph

(we need a crackin my knuckles whilst pettin my Yamaha emoticon)

But seriously, I want my best econ to be around 4500 @ +-26-28mph cause you seldom ever get to run her WOT......and get back in one peice or WOT(With Out Trama)

I think the bracket is a little more efficient. I could be wrong but the 140 should be just right in the weight to hp ratio. I don't think I wouldn't want to go 60 standing in the tower. Besides, low RPM planing and grunt down low to get thru the heavy stuff is what you need when you go out to sea. I volunteer to try it for a month or two if he needs a first hand opinion.
