Re: whats the fastest new outboards
Ddub... please read the title of your post what is the fasted new outboard. I answered your question. I didn't take time to read your post as the question was pretty plainly stated in your title. I would never ask what is the fastest outboard when speaking about a 25-40 hp motor. Plain and simple it's not even close.
In further discussion if you truly want a fast motor have your boat re rated as a commercial vessel fairly straightforward process and doesn't take much of your time. Then you determine the proper HP rating. I call BS on a max hp rating of 40hp on an 1848 that is WAY underpowered and I would think it's almost unsafe to put a 25 hp motor on a boat that size. I would check with the manufacturer I think you have some bad info.

Re: whats the fastest new outboards
I have had this conversation with 549 before. I think he is saying that the manuf. will not rig a boat with a higher HP than 40 with tiller or stick. You the consumer can do as you please. But may open yourself up to additional liability.
Re: whats the fastest new outboards
I figured the Lunds and other boats I've seen running around with 115hp tillers must have had a commercial rating to still be legal.

There's a reason the mercurys are cheaper.... The Nissan my buddy has has been a good motor

I have a 1652 G3 with a 40 Yamaha. In my opinion It will flat out fly.

I notice we seem to have lost the OP, never meant to send the guy packing. Oh well I'll keep on working to read....
