[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 339876, member: 1523"] Looking at the chart, 10+ seconds to hit 20 mph means you are going to be digging holes for a long time trying to get the hull to climb the hill of water so it'll plane out. I also seriously doubt you 2 stroke has the same power curve as the 4 stroke so that chart's value is dubious. For skinny water you want a power plant that can pop the hull out of the water very quickly without digging a hole, then you throttle it back to around 3/4 so you have some reserve maneuvering power and you're not pushing the engine too hard (nor the fuel consumption).
