Thats a great idea Phil!
I was concerned about water in the hull which is why I posted the pic, but that is a big heavy engine so it does weigh it down some (I got a good deal on the engine which is why its on there, idealy I think a 70hp 2-stroke yammi would be perfect).
My top end with that engine is 35-36 knots with my GPS, how does that sound to you guys? I figure comparing that with others top speeds with 90hp might give me an idea of how heavy it is or is not
