Old post but I'll bite. I'm pushing 30/31mph with a 2005 40hp Merc. 4 Stroke and EFI. Thats with no gear and 1 person in the boat. floats high and dry like a corkHi, everyone! I have a HPS that I plan on repowering very soon. I was wondering what you would recommend for an outboard. I plan on getting a Yamaha 4 stroke outboard, but I’m trying to decide between the 50 hp, 60 hp, or 70 hp. Thanks!
wheres your waterline by the scuppers? How fast you pushing.. It would be nice to have a 50 or 60 when I do longer runs...I ended up getting a new 70hp four stroke Yamaha and I love it, but I always wonder if I should have went with a 40-50hp.
