07 150 Evinrude 69 mph @ 5200 rpm (speedo). "Graduated from a R70  
            E-Tec HO Sport with a 115 Merc, I must say I was hesitant, loved my  
  R70. What a difference this 188VS makes. Great speed for a   
  150 and what a Ranger ride I get out of this baby. Wide beam  
  and great hull design makes this a perfect boat to run and to   
  fish with. Not at all sorry I spent the money for the upgrade.  
  E-Tec is a quiet and smooth running motor, I am truly  
  impressed."

01 115 Johnson Maxxum.  55 mph @ 5500 rpm (speedo). "Can some one  
  tell me how to determine or measure engine height off transom  
  and propshaft to pad below or above pad and will it get more  
  speed if I add a jackplate and raise the motor one more hole  
  up. When I am on the water seeing all those big bassboats   
  with all those horses wishing I had at least a 200, but one   
  thing I get is they all check out my boat. They know Ranger  
  is #1."
