[QUOTE="RedHatRedNeck, post: 463994, member: 22224"] Current Rig - 2004 1860 SC Triton with a 2002 Mercury 40 EFI Big Foot 4S A repower may be in the plans for some future mods I want to do and looking into people's experiences. Weight to go from 40 to 60 hp is only about 10-20lbs additional weight. A 75 or 90 is over 100lbs. Aside from adding more weight, the main drawback I'm considering with the repower idea is just how little fuel this motor guzzles while at cruising speeds. I can normally run 4+ hours at half to 2/3 throttle and maybe burn 4 gallons if I punch it up a bit. Has anyone repowered an 1860 from 40 to 60, 75, or 90 hp? What were the increases in top speed, performances, and how much fuel economy did you lose? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
