[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 270689, member: 8490"] Thanks for the encouragement guys, I hope to test run the motor this week. I'm waiting on my steering helm to get here so I can build the console and get the steering all hooked up, in the meantime I think I'll leave the boat strapped to the trailer and back it into the neighbor's pond to make sure the motor runs ok and I don't have to fix anything with it. As far as performance, I really have no clue what it's going to do. The 18hp prop put it on plane in 4-5 boat lengths and topped out at 24 mph with one person and a light load, so I'm expecting a top end speed between there and the low-30's [/QUOTE]
