quote Richard A. White:
Wanting to chuckle as I know this will catch grief, BUT…..
Why in the world do you want to use an OMC and try to go fast?? Plant a Merc back there and let it ripo..
My 1947 Merc KE7, off a fresh rebuild, stock prop, does upwards of 22 mph, from a 10 hp, on my 14 foot 1963 StarCraft Seafarer.

I have the KE7 as 19.8 cubic inches, are you telling me it’s only making a half a horse per cube? Or is the 10hp designation one of Elmer’s marketing schemes? The follow-on KG7 was called "10+", the Mk15 16hp, and the Mk25 was called 18, all on the same displacement.
