I love the looks of the top end capabilities with this combo(boat/eng/prop) but I MOSTLY fish offshore and SELDOM get to ride WOT. This configuration will best suit what I believe my needs are which are an efficient, above-average cruise speed while maximizing range.

Oh, did I mention I had an authentic seatrail?????? NE 15-20kts. 1.5ft in the river!!!!! I got gas to burn, what can I say?????

ALMOST FINISHED(yeah, yeah, I know, its never finished)!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM PICS UP!!!!!!!!

Your numbers are VERY CLOSE to mine when I originally put the 150 Honda on back in '04...topped out at 42 @ 6000 and cruised at 29 @ 4000...that w/a 15 1/4" x 17 Power Tec
