That boat should run much faster then 30mph.

I plan on polish them once a yr if not more. It should go quick now that the hard part is done.



Thanks

There actually cheaper and better on gas then triple or quad outboards.

You see a ton of quad 350hp yamaha down in Miami and these are suppose to be a good replacement for them.

Will need to know what RPM you spinning at WOT. But yes a 12p seems to little and you are more then likely bouncing off the rev limiter of the motor. (not a good idea)
