 Re: opinions..
It'll still be slower than AKA's SETX motor (for its first 10 minutes)...

 Re: opinions..
Probably run in the upper 30s. Buddy of mine had a 90 2 stroke Yammy on a POS tank ass gator trax round chine boat like a 1744 and it would run 33 or so with a pretty good hunt load and a couple guys in it...so I'd imagine that 60 would push the shit outta that 1754. I think TDuet put an outboard on his GT boat, maybe check with him.

 Re: opinions..
