joema,
Could you give me gph/rpm/speed numbers if you have them? You said your turning a 16/20 prop? is it a suzuki prop?

I hate to diss a manufacture, but Evinrude and Yammi are pricing themselves out of the market, at least on repowers.
I am not sure what they are doing with the manufactures, but no one is building boats right now, so I can't see them selling a much there.

I haven't talked to anyone that hasn't been happy with an recent optimax, or a suzuki 4 stroke. I am leaning toward the 4 stroke, but price/financing is going to seal it.
