I knew someone with the 5.1 Tornado with a 90 and it pulled badly on reentry to the water from prop torque. Judicious throttle and trim control helps a lot.

The best I ever managed with my old 60 was 28 kts. That was a very old Evinrude premix. Freedom was VERY sluggish if you had more than 3 peeps on board. Now she is a dream.
