[QUOTE="user 12972, post: 333792, member: 12972"] What a great thread! I'm hoping it will serve me too. I've got an '84 Johnson 30 remote (so 25 at prop?) I'd like to get just a bit more out of. It's on a Grumman 1448 that as a kid my dad and I spent HOURS fishing in, and believe it or not I used to ski, kneeboarding, and tube behind. I know a 30hp is a slightly larger rating for the boat already but after I mod it up (floors, seats, etc) I think I'll need just a little more oomph to pull my kids, and ok maybe myself. :LOL2: Short of doing the research for parts, is it worth it in your opinion? Could I gain just 5 more? Man, what a difference that would make. And just so you know, I've just recently rebuilt the transom to stronger dimensions, so I think the boat will be able to handle the HP. Thanks for your comments. [/QUOTE]
