[QUOTE="eriecrappie33, post: 452190, member: 7798"] This might be a stupid question but I am going to be re powering my 16ft v hull "starcraft no clue what model" with a 2004 50hp tohatsu, can I expect to see much better performance compared to my 1990 60hp mariner? I bought the new motor based on reliability compared to the mariner that I hated and drove me nuts... but just wondered about performance differences with a 15 year newer motor? The mariner was a kind of low compression on one cylinder like 112psi? Does anyone have a similar rig? Thanks guys Ran the motor yesterday and man does that thing get up and go, I was easily getting 30mph were I was getting max 28mph with the mariner. My prop is a 10 pitch right now but I have a 12 pitch on order so I should be well above 30mph when I switch them out. I've owned 2 mariners now I really believe they just dog it as for power and speed.. [/QUOTE]
