It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since I put up that spreadsheet for boat data. Here is a link to the data for easy access: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?hl= ... utput=html

From all of the data thus far entered I was able to determine that the average top speed of a 35hp surface drive (modded and un-modded combined), no matter the manufacturer, or boat size or weight, with an average occupant(s) weight of 285lbs, is 27.998 mph with an average rpm of 3972.80. I excluded from the analysis data that was input incorrectly or was outside the optimum statistical range for significance (50hptiller, et al).

I will next try to breakdown the data to include sets for boat dimensions and engine modification. The last analysis will be by Mudmotor manufacturer....which should get interesting.

I thought it would show that people fib a little on their speeds.
