[QUOTE="nowgrn4, post: 381230, member: 17533"] I'm running a 3.3 HP Johnrude on my 17' Grumman canoe. I have a Belgium made 2HP Johnrude also that I used to run. Even with the 2HP I can't run more than half throttle. All it does is make more noise and drink more gas at higher throttle settings. It really doesn't go much faster. I would assume it has something to do with the hull shape(Displacement Hull?). I would go with the 2.5HP. The 4HP is probably overkill. [/QUOTE]
