Additionally, if speed was your main concern there is really only one engine to consider.
The Evinrude 60 HO three cylinder would make that hull fly. 38-40 mph I'd guess.

Agreed. If you decide to go with 30 hp, the E-tec would be tough to beat. Plus the tiller handle is nice, and not nearly as long as the "oar" on my 40!

If weight ends up being a concern the E-tec 30 hp is a VERY strong 30!

I keep a waterproof travel cover on mine all summer.

Evinrude G2 tiller

Asked about an integrated power steering tiller G2 at the Evinrude booth.
He smiled and said "come see me next year"
We'll see. Always nice to have more options.
