I had an interesting experience with my Newport 16 sailboat. I have a 28 pound and a 50 pound thrust Minkota trolling motor. I went out to see what the battery life on a 12V NiCad battery pack would look like.
Anyway, I hooked up the 28 lb thrust and measured 2.5mph on my GPS. With the 50 lb thrust I hit 2.6 mph!
There isn't enough data to draw any conclusions but it was interesting.
I will have to hook up some instruments to figure out if there really was an almost doubling of power that produced a negligable increase in speed.
