[QUOTE="airshot, post: 498302, member: 1183"] The way they calculate the hp today...these older motors actually made more hp.. In my youth, a 16' Lyman could easily pull up one skier with just a 25 hp johnson and with a 35 hp coukd easily pull up two skiers with a couple passengers in the boat !! In 1964, my 14' mirro with an 18 hp evinrude could easily pull up a skier....in much later years, I had a 14' starcraft with a 15 hp evinrude, no way would that pull up a skier, speed was there, but far less grunt to do the pullin....
