Hole shot is WAY different (better) and the added weight on the transom is slightly noticeable. Can hold a conversation at cruise speed though.

I'm spinning a SST mirage 15 1/2" X 17 pitch prop and top out at 4900 rpm. Just ordered an aluminum 15X15 to get it closer to 5500. Was told reducing the torque and increasing the rpm's are better for the fuel injectors and less torque will add life to all moving parts. Makes sense I guess. Will give it a shot regardless.
