Hey y'all, I installed a Yamaha F-70 on my 1970 Nauset this past fall. I couldn't be happier. I mounted it 2 holes up on the transom. My top speed is 38 mpg with a stock Yamaha stainless steel 17" pitch prop that will turn the engine 6000 rpm trimmed up. Most of my running is in the 4000 rpm range that gives me a mid 20's cruise. The weight is correct for the older hulls. No smoke, it's quiet and has plenty of power. I haven't water skied yet with it, that will come when the water warms up.
