[QUOTE="thill, post: 502738, member: 4972"] Hearing this has helped me make up my mind. I'm about to go out and rebuild the Johnson 60 carbs, and I'll see how it runs on the stand. If it runs smoothly, I'll mount it on the Spectrum and lake test it tomorrow after work. The lake test will be for both the boat and the motor. IF I really like the boat, I may swap it out for my Princecraft, which has been a great boat. IF I decide to keep it, and if I like the 60, it will stay on the boat. Otherwise, 70 HP it will be. IF I decide to sell the boat, the 60 will go with it and I'll keep the 70 for future use. The Mercury is a clean motor with power trim, and should be easy to sell down the road, when I have time. This is good. Now I have a plan. Thanks again, Modelawn. Your personal experience has tipped the scales and helped me end the stalemate. [/QUOTE]
