Current Rig - 2004 1860 SC Triton with a 2002 Mercury 40 EFI Big Foot 4S
A repower may be in the plans for some future mods I want to do and looking into people's experiences. Weight to go from 40 to 60 hp is only about 10-20lbs additional weight. A 75 or 90 is over 100lbs.
Aside from adding more weight, the main drawback I'm considering with the repower idea is just how little fuel this motor guzzles while at cruising speeds. I can normally run 4+ hours at half to 2/3 throttle and maybe burn 4 gallons if I punch it up a bit.
Has anyone repowered an 1860 from 40 to 60, 75, or 90 hp? What were the increases in top speed, performances, and how much fuel economy did you lose?
