I just bought a 1968 Larson 17' fiberglass boat that has a Merc. 2 stroke 45hp. "50hp. Classic" outboard.
Nice motor, but way underpowered for this boat..
I wish to re-power with a 95 or newer Evenrude/Johnson 2 stroke but cannot find any information on what the max. HP. this hull will accept.
The difference in weight between a 90hp and a 115hp. even or Johnson is only seven pounds, but still 600 + for either
engine.
A less hp Evenrude or Johnson also weighs less, but I have been told buy a couple Even/John mechanics, that the 90hp. 115hp's are the most reliable in the 1995 newer 2 strokes....
Comments / opinions please..
Yes, I have checked the boat for a tag that gives the max. HP rating for the boat and have found none..
Thanks guys for any insight into what size max. HP or weight I can go..
