[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 366732, member: 12925"] If you had a strong running 2-stroke 40, it is possible that there may not be that big of a difference. Not making excuses for anyone but an outboard can vary 10% either way on rated horse power. Could be anywhere from 3-7 mph depending on if you had a strong 40 or a weak one and the same goes for the 60. Was your 40 stock or had you modified it any? Were both gps speeds? Did you get a stainless impeller? Just a few things to consider, it is frustrating though when you have high expectations. You may gain 1-2 mph after it gets broke in around 30-40 hrs or so. Keep the impeller sharpened and shimmed. You should see fuel savings with it and go farther on a tank. Any pics? [/QUOTE]
