    Years ago, I had a Gale/Monkey Wards 5D10 and a Johnson TN-XX.  Runing the motors on the same boat, same day, same load, etc., the Gale would run circles around the Johnson,  The Gale had just a tad more power and would get the boat up on plane whereas the Johnson just couldn’t quite get it up out of the hole.  Your mileage may differ.
