How is the take off, running with a heavy load, etc. Only other question is how long can I expect it to last if I run it normal no racing besides every great once in a while?? Got a friend on here that's got one that'll scream and a few more guys with the same and they love em as well. Another reason is... It's a Mercury, and I can work on it. If my Etec messes up... Gotta pay someone to work on it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ! I'm not wanting a rocket.... Somewhere around 50-55 mph would be all I'm after. Whatever it takes to get there. 1648 War Eagle 370 lbs
