Yeah that is faster than my 35 cdi marine (granted its old and the xpress hull is heavy) on any day or load lol but I'd wanna see that in action. Still a cool addition, I have hear rumors of a new big block with a different clutch system (not a planetary), wondering if that will be Honda or larger than 40 hp. Could be gossip though but I would imagine they'd be cooking something up given the 40xd has been out a good while now.
