Run for the first time

Well I sea trialled the 4.5hp Century on my 7ft Glass dinghy yest with my hand held GPS.
As suspected it pulled a top speed of only 5.8mph. Half throttle was only 5mph so more revs did not equate to more speed. Heaps quieter though and ran beautifully.
As most do im sure it smokes a bit when being run in a test tank but didnt seem to at all when run on the water. I guess that has something to be run under load.
Did not run hot at all, Water flow was great.
What an awesome outboard to own. Nothing better than having an outboard that you can reply on to go.
Happy new year team.
