Pardon the interruption, Mr T., but I think the modern 25" e-tec 90 uses a 2.25 gear ratio.

Beastly, is your bracket set for a 20" or 25" shaft.

Etec 115 or initial etec 130 would be great, and I'd venture you might be closer to touching 40mph. But the 90 is about 2 grand less and 60 lbs lighter which may be significant when pushed 2 feet back. And like the 3 Lions man said ,the mid range torque is great for common cruising speeds. I still see the overnighter getting low 30s. The 20' SC cuddies are far more nimble than they look.

I have an '83 I-6 115 that takes my Seafari to 36 mph and am amazed what the the etec 90 does with 3 cylinders. I'd swap in a heartbeat if the cash were available. for me the mid range is most valuable because out west I'm airborne if I'm running 25mph in the swells.

I'd talk to Bushwacker a little about your weight re-distribution should you opt for the 115.
