The KG7 having a smaller lower unit uses less energy to push it through the water. The prop is smaller as well. Combining the both smaller lower & prop makes it faster too. I enjoy the both of my KG7 & KH7. For fishing I like a Johnson 7.5hp motor too. All depends what I have planed for the day. All three are very good outboards never to be made again. The 50’s thru the early 70’s were the best motors built I feel but that is just one guys opinion. I’m very happy running my 1954 Firestone 10hp too. Then again I have the bug too!
