    2hp Johnson for intex mariner 4

    So.... I know I won't be getting on a plane in my mariner 4 but how fast could I expect to go with a 2hp? I'm currently using a 30lb trolling motor and I want to double my 3mph tips with that. I'm picking the outboard up today provided that it runs well in the test.
