It appears that my top speed would be just over 40 and that at roughly the second best MPG efficiency, 4000 RPM/4.7MPG, would cruise at 27--a nice increase from my 20.5 max and 16 cruising.
PS The numbers above are from a test here: https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/us/...units=imperial |
From a service availability standpoint, I would go with the Merc...
