14/48 with a ported 40 will do 70+. That's how these guys claim they have fast motors lol.

Mine hardly makes 20 mph any more with my weight gain and the children much bigger than they were, and I need both the 10 HP and the 20 HP motors running wide open to get there.

It'll do 70 mph easy on the trailer, though.

you can fill all the voids in the block with epoxy and stroke the crank. I hear that makes the tohatsu come alive

Man, I pushed my old marshrunner 52 and that was a little iffy lol. Always worried about hitting something floating just under the surface with that thin fiberglass hull at 50+. Pushing an aluminum hull now and feel safer lol.
