[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 341524, member: 13419"] Pappy, you're probably right. A more powerful motor will outrun a weaker one. The question just comes down to whether or not the gain in power is worth the change gph, the hassle, and the price all for an older motor. At that price point there's no way it makes sense. Now if I could get my hands on an 85 or newer Johnson 25 for a decent price then mod it up to 30 hp I think that the hassle and increase in gas consumption would definitely be worthwhile. Thanks for all the advice guys. it definitely helped me out. [/QUOTE]
