wake, the Tahiti would really fly! The Merc sounded great screaming at 6k+
while it was in the air!!! That is until the ferry captain
turned me in to the Coast Guard... got off with a verbal warning.
Today they'd throw the book at you, not to mention I'm too old for that kinda thing now...

You're right--40 HP rating on 13' Whalers. We pulled the 50 when a factory rep was coming over and put a lower HP motor on it. --Bob
