I had quite a bit of cup added to the prop. Grips a lot better and didn't slow me down any. It's a heavy boat to begin with plus 24 volt t.m. and 3 batts. Can't say enough about those motors. They are fine machines. Now everyone who owns a Merc 40 can fire away.

Those fuel-injected tohatsu's are good motors. Five or six guys at work run them with no problems.
