Default Re: Repower for 23' I/O

I have a Scepter with a 260 Volvo I/O. While it does well, these hulls like HP to work their magic. I also have 144 gal. fuel plus the usual "other" stuff.

My 290 VP outdrive can handle substatially more than the 260, so I'm planning on 310+ HP when the time comes and if it ends up being fuel injected it could reach 350 ish or 30+% increase. JMHO.
