I doesn't have the punch the Opti gave me but the quiet smooth motor is a joy. I was also able to pitch up from 23" Tempest to a 24" Fury which is giving me 61mph and change (gps) at WOT (5900rpm). The 23" Tempest Plus over revs to a little over 6100rpm. Another thing is for some reason almost all the chinewalk is gone. Don't know if that's because of the motor or the lack of lift from the Fury prop itself but I like it. With the Opti and Tempest chinewalk kicked in heavy at 60mph, which was top speed for that combo.
