The Mercury 400 pops that boat out of the hole quick with very little bowrise; very impressive. That's due to being a V10 and large prop. I've heard people hitting upwards of 70 mph top end on that but can't confirm that personally. Comparing to a 300 hp engine, please see here: www.seakeeper.com/faqs/how-much-power-does-a-seakeeper-use/ Thanks for watching!

That's a fun running jon boat!
Can you give any further feedback on performance etc. how would you compare the 400 to the 300 Merc or Yamaha?

Top speed?
We hit 65 before I pulled back on the throttle. The engine wasn't 100% broken in yet so didn't want to push it. Thanks for watching.
