Looking for what you guys are getting with the new mercury 4 stroke
There have been several threads on this question in the past few months. And unsurprisingly [happens every time this comes up with any boat or engine], there is no one answer. Many with this setup are running high 60s with two anglers and a tournament load. Some are running low 70s.
