How fast is 75 horsepower?
A 75 should get you to 40-42, and you can cruise at the 60’s max speed. If I bought new, I’m all in for the 75. The 75 hp engine will be a different family–with 90 and 115 hp motors. While there might not be a big difference in top speed, the 75 hp will cruise at less throttle.
