What all can be done to a 1996 40/28 Johnson?
It already has the head shaved and 50 horse carbs.

That is why his 60/40 will run with my 250/175. It will definitely take it on the holeshot, maybe even enough to keep it ahead.

Wow! That's amazing! Your rig probably runs low 50's too right? I've never seen any hot rodded 2 strokes running around the river. Most people just slap on a 225-250 and go.
Yeah, Hogan has it right some are big gains and some are little, that not even everything that's just some of the easier noticeable gains. I enjoy having a fast boat but even more then that I don't have to worry about being under powered if I do have a load. The people making the rules for the Current don't understand enough about how a jet boat works to know you need to be able to have some more power left so when you are loaded down you can still maneuver safely.smackdaddy53 said:**** bro, that sounds like a lot of work

Most of those hot rodded 2 strokes run Current River where there are 40 hp restrictions. They don't have the option of bolt on power, they have to make hp out of 60/40 blocks.
I have hit 50 gps twice during 30 sec wot runs between the 2-3 hr mark with a light load. My boat is for fishing not racing though. I wanted the 250 so I could load whatever I want to take, jump on plane and cruise about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. A little over 1/2 throttle gets about the same speed and fuel usage as my 115 did, with all the reserve for those tight turns. Albeit with a big learning curve :shock: as seen with my sand bar pics.
