Default Evinrude Junior outboard OK for canoe?

As I understand it, that applies to displacement hulls. However, my
canoe has a flat bottom, making it technically a semi-displacement
hull which has some lifting capacity and therefore the ability to
exceed its maximum displacement speed. Otherwise, I don't think I
could have got it up to the 15 knots I estimate I was doing the other
day.


Were you using the Evinrude for a power source to hit 15 knots?
