Default Re: what power for a 77 scepter

Jim,
I have a 23 Scepter with a 250 Merc EFI, and I cruise between 25-30, with a top speed of about 41. This is with crew, gas, and a hardtop. If you have a top, you will lose between 2 and 3 mph. If you go to a 4 stroke, it will add more weight, with a little less power, but get better MPG. If you are buying new, and gas milage is an issue, I would be looking at a 4 stroke 225hp.
