Here it is with the 1969 7.5hp Mercury on Detroit River;

Old 6hp Evinrude on Lake Sapphire up in Missaukee Co. by my cabin.

Both of them came with the boat/trailer so I had to try them out.
I have a GPS app on my phone that said 13mph for the Mercury 7.5 but I think it is a little slower than that. Both feel about the same but the Evinrude is a little quieter.
 
The river current will ad or subtract boat speed measured by GPS...depending on whether you're going up or downstream.
