A 115 might push a V20 over a waterfall at 45 mph...

My 115 could barely hit 28 with just me and 20 gallons of fuel on board.

115 Johnson on a bracketed 85 cuddy, cruise 24-26 and topped at around 35 loaded.
Was Old School a fluke? I don't think so. Have others I know that run the later 115's and had good performance like that and got good gas mileage to boot.
