So I've been looking around here for some time trying to find some info on what to repower my boat with. Its a alweld 1856 with a tunnel bought from the boat shop in fairbanks am new in 07 I believe. Its got a 1992 johnson 115 2-stoke jet (which I have a friend who tells me to never get rid of and just rebuild), I'm the second owner. I'm looking at the 4-stroke Yamaha 115 jet just kinda concerned about the weight. Just kinda hoping for some pointers i would really like to get better fuel economy which I'm sure anything new is going to do better than what I get which is 10-12GPH ish. But I'm not really wanting to drop to much power to go to like the etec 90 which would be a lot closer to the weight i have now, but i am definatly willing to do that if you guys think my power wont feel that much lacking.
Just hoping for some help any info would be greatly appriciated
Thanks in advance.
