Default Re: 90 HP 4 cycle performance

"Fathers Day Gift" thats a good one. I guess adequate is different for each person.

Fr. Frank how do you think one of the new 4S 90's would do on your rig? If I recall on one of your posts you estimated your 90 Opti put out 100 or more HP. Mercs are often rumored to produce well above their nominal HP.Along that same line the new Honda 90efi uses the motor from the Honda Fit.Same displacement(1497cc),same bore and stroke.Compression not sure. It rates 117hp @6600rpm. 106#torque @4800rpm.Of course the outboard is rated at the prop shaft which might be the difference.
