Using a 20 HP Nissan 4-stroke on my G3-1652VBW. Typical load on outboard is 1100 lbs. (Hull: 400, outboard: 124, fuel/battery: 76, people/cargo: 500, total weight = 1100 lbs.) Top speed is 20+ MPH with this load, gets up on step easy, I'm happy with the performance.

Starts every time, (electric start) easy on fuel, runs low speeds without issue, jumps the G3 up on step... does what I need. Don't know the "top speed" with my boat, Suwannee River is too low for speed runs. "Bumped" over many submerged logs/trees without damage to lower unit/skeg/prop...
