[QUOTE="maddog, post: 259695, member: 8022"] motor works really well for my boat. gets up on plane quickly. So far it hits 25mph on the gps, but I haven't held it at wide open for more than 10-15 seconds or so. I really like being able to shoot across the lake quickly now! Been pretty busy but went out last weekend Saturday for about 5 hours. Didn't catch anything, the wind was terrible. blowing me across the lake with 2 anchors down. Just floating the wind was blowing me about 1mph! Pike and walleye open up here on inland lakes (been open on the big water Erie, St. Claire etc...) tomorrow but the weather is supposed to be crap. If it rains I will have time to get the boat closer to finished. Maybe Sunday will be nice. Regardless, this is a very good sized motor for my 14' alumacraft. Glad I got electric start also. The drip free fittings on the new motors are not any better than the old style fittings. Gas still leaks out when you disconnect the line. Oh well. Costs 2-3 times as much, but same old crap, no improvement in my opinion. EPA approval costs alot I guess. [/QUOTE]
