I run mostly long distances. I am traveling to and from Sturgeon holes. When I am using a electric motor there is one hole that is just over a mile and another that is 2 miles one way. I needed to test to get the most out of my battery and to speed up so I was not spending all my time in route.
I have tested the endura models. I have a 40 and a buddy of mine had a 50 and a older 28 I think. We traded them around and traded battery's and did a lot of testing. They were all the same speed with the same boat. Now my 40 on my Sportsman 9 was faster than any combo with his boat, you can see in the video mine catches his and is passing it. He has a Outcast cougar. He now has an endura 30 and it is a great motor for him.
The fastest speed recorded in reverse with legs in the water was 3 MPH. We came up with a different way to run our boats with the head set to go backwards we run them forward. This is the fastest mode I have tested yet with the motor set to go backwards. The fastest I have ran my Sportsman with the electric motor is 3.9 on flat water, but I did have a tail wind, and that was forward, this was tested with a GPS. Most people just guess the speed I know for a fact. Here is a video of how we do it. Ron
