I was hoping that's the case! I can't use a lot more power as the boat isn't that heavy, save a mulch transom. It has small tanks and no livewell or leaning post. It does have a big t-top.
If the etec 90 is lighter than a 1999 F100 even with a 25" leg, versus my 20" that I have now then that's great
Right now only 1/4 of the time can I run WOT even with the F100, then the Etec sounds nice. I didn't check vacuum but I can't run much over 4800 RPM on my F100 which redlines at 6000 (and I can do 6000 RPM in light boat condition, 5700 loaded down). If I do run faster, I fly off the tops of waves and slam in Buzzards Bay chop.
Thanks for the verification. I think I'll add a vacuum gauge to check, and think about a repower.
