posted 08-17-2005 11:26 PM ET (US)         Tried my 130 Sport / 40 merc 4cycle EFI with the Tiger Shark installed last weekend. Prior to install, the minimum plane speed was about 19 mph, and about 34 mph at WOT. After install plane speed went down to 12 mph. Actually, slightly lower in calm water. Not sure about top speed yet - got just at 30 mph on gps, but didn't get it the motor trimmed all the way up yet.. a little chine walking seemed to appear.... This is with my 235 lbs and full 6.5 gallons of fuel and about 150 lbs of gear. Sure is nice to cruise at 12-15 mph, though...
