    2002 Mercury 40 EFI 4S Big Foot to 60 HP?

    Curious if anyone's ever taken a 40 and turned it into a 60? What all did you have to do? How much did it run? Performance before vs after? Thinking since the manual for my 40 has the 40, 50, & 60 it can be done? Not the most mechanically inclined so any input appreciated.
