I bought a 2575RSI with an Evinrude 135 2 stroke. They are both 2003. Finally got the boat on the water and at WOT the highest the engine would go is 3800 rpm which showed 22 mph on my GPS. I think the rpm should be 5000 at WOT. I couldn't find any markings on the prop. Guess I will take it...

I have the same question. I saw the Lenco video on YouTube and it is really impressive. Looks like $2700 for the 2 motor setup with a joystick controller. I was thinking of it in case my engine failed. Also it would be a very quiet way to idle around.

For about $230 you can get an inverter that changes 12 volts to 120 volts AC for up to 1000 Watts. This will run most kitchen appliances. I have one but do not have it installed yet in my 2575RSI. I will let you know how it works.

Thanks so much.....

I just bought a 2003 2575 RSI with a 135 hp Evinrude on it. However, the specs say the max engine size is a 115. Just wondering is all. Motor too big? Never saw it in the water.
