We can go title for title next spring RB. Whoever takes the longest to go 20 feet gets both motors. And a plaque.

My 2 hp British Seagull is probably too fast unless I change the prop.. but it's a great trolling maching. Never actually measured how slow with the gps.. I wonder how you actually measure less than one knot? Do you use a chip log?

Doing a little casual search for Evinrude 200hp DFI from 2002-2005......

Not the etec, just before after Bombardier had cleaned up the mess and was building a great motor. I had one of these.......Evinrude master tech dealership told me it puts out approx 218 prop hp so it's in line with the Etec 200 HO, but less money.

That should push my V21 to approx 50 mph. Nice.

As I mentioned - casual search ( meaning how much $$ to pull the trigger.....or not )

Wow, thank you for the kind words RidgeRunner.

The new 557 hp outboard is the ticket- weight, I believe around 1,000lbs.

Transom rips off into the water........ engine falls into the water.......sharks in the water......our shark.....

I think this thread jumped a shark. I'm proud to have had a hand in it.
