The comparable motor to the 59 cubic inch merc would be the SST60, OMC motor, their kilo record was about 95 mph. 12.5 mph is lightyears difference between boats already tweaked to run.

so a man of your knowing, if you could have a brand new Merc 40 or Tohatsu 40 which would you choose to use for a platform to build from?
