Default Re: Suzuki 9.9hp and 20hp speed comparison

I'm thinking something is wrong here. A 9.9hp O/B gives you 20mph and a max plate of 30hp. With a 5 knot following sea the motor will give you 5 knots not running. Put a 30hp on that boat and it's way too fast- likely near 40 knots or more.

There is no way in hell a boat that light (empty LT 300LB) can be a 40knot. No way! Something is wrong.
