 13 hp homebuild
OK guys, just took my motor out again and got 18.1 mph out of it. That was just me in a 14X36 boat and a Ron Hill 8X6 prop, and yes that was a GPS speed. But that was a surface drive speed. When it was in the water I was averaging about 16 mph, so you can get good speeds out of a small motor.

 Re: 13 hp homebuild
That's great speeds. Please elaborate on your engine setup and such.

 Re: 13 hp homebuild
All I really have is custom exhaust and I've done some adjustments on the governor. I was getting about 3800 rpm at top speed, I don't think that's a bad motor speed with an 8X6 prop.
