Re: Repower could add too much weight?
Well said, Denny.
But then there's folks like me, who go from a 370lb Merc XR4 to a 375lb 90hp Optimax. Still, I've got all the power I need. I still plane easily with 6 adults on board, or 4 adults and all the gear for fishing. Okay, I can't blast along at 50+ mph anymore, but I did that only very rarely, anyway. With the V6, my average speed was about 25 mph. Guess what? With the 90hp my average speed is the same. And I use about one-third the fuel as before. And today, that's a huge issue.
