[QUOTE="JonnyRingo, post: 454569, member: 23869"] I bought a 1980 Hewescraft River Runner and it came with an older broke 65 Johnson w/ a prop. I have a chance to pick up a strong running older 50hp Merc w/ a fresh rebuilt pump (50/35). I ripped all the back to back seats out and with the boat being pretty thin riveted aluminum its really light. I'm wondering if this will be enough HP for getting on plane and going up the and down the river with 2 people. I was hoping for any advice or suggestions/experience with an older River Runner. Thanks [/QUOTE]
