[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 418720, member: 15636"] I can't speak to 25hp OBs ... but this season my boatclub replaced ([i]Huh? It was running fine, less it was a pull-start OB ...[/i]) a Nissan 10hp 2-stroke with a new electric start Honda 15hp 4-stroke. These motors were put on the same heavy frp Carolina Skiff J12 hull for use as a club tender, 24/7. It is an absolute DOG of a motor ... the Nissan 10hp was soooooooooo much faster than that goshdarn heavy Honda! Makes the J12 hull sit down at the stern and doesn't have enough ponies to get the hull up near, never mind on plane ... To me, I don't think that it's the HP per se that's at fault as much as the sheer weight increase and that it drags down the stern. [/QUOTE]
