[QUOTE="fltbtm, post: 523739, member: 35625"] these are called Surface Drives, when they are properly trimmed out they are fast for air cooled outboards. most all will come with a way to adjust trim and that is with the prop about half in the water and half out. watch some videos of trim being correct and you can see the prop spinning. people who claim they are slow and sold them never learned to trim the motor correctly. surface drive was developed by boat racers and used on huge inboard motors and are used to this day-not because they are slow!!! they are also fantastic in shallow water, and if you watch some surface drive videos you will see the only way to go shallower than these or long tails is a air boat.
