The boat I just bought has a 1996 Evinrude 40 hp E40TELEDS outboard that seems to be running well. The original owner thought it was a 97 but maybe he bought it in 97 and never realized it was a leftover 96. He thinks it has less than 250 hours on it since he only used the boat for duck hunting. Anyway, are there any mods that can be done to get a little more out of it? Is the 50 hp motor just different carbs and reeds? I was thinking about converting it to a jet so some extra power might be nice if I end up keeping the motor.
