    79' Mckee Craft 17.5 weight ???

    I just purchased this boat, and removed the 85 HP off and installed a used 150 HP. I am only spinning a 19 pitch prop to 4300 RPMs at 33 MPH and a 17 pitch prop 4900 RPMs at 37 MPH..I expected much better than this, was hoping to be able to put on a 23 or 21 pitch prop and spin over 5k RPM. I...

I had the flywheel off for him and he actually replaced the stator and...

    85 HP Johnson producing less power than expected.

    I have a 1979 85 HP johnson. It runs great. has 110-120 on all cylinders. the left bank is 120 and the right bank is 110. the coils all test good, carbs have been rebuilt and seem to function fine. The motor runs much smoother than I expected but seems to be lacking some power. I put the motor...
