Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

:giggle: The trouble with speeding on the Thames is all the locks, so a friend told me anyway :hmmm: but at that speed you might just be able to jump them!

Alacrity and daughter, Buddybuoy and Mrs Buddybuoy , and me went up the Thames last year in Buddybouys Chris-Craft one Saturday , Alacrity's daughter, Miss Alacrity was driving, when we were just about to leave one of the Locks, the lock keeper, who had seen us in the morning on the way up, wanted us to "Give it some stick" , he was a V8 fan, we were the only boat in the lock, there wasn't anything waiting to come in, So Miss Alacrity did........we were on the plane by the time we were at the other end of the lock........Great..!! :perfect:
