[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 512849, member: 21552"] HP is HP as far as I'm concerned. As long as it's measured at the same point, "Crankshaft vs Prop". The industry is kept to a 10% range, so a 60 HP could produce as few as 54 or as much as 66 ponies. Short of doing a dyno test you'll have to seek out what engines are considered "Strong" engines. An example would be todays Yamaha F150, they are considered "strong" for their rating. Personally, I think I'd take the engine it came with and have her rebuilt. assuming you can find a topflight shop. If I recall Johson produced some 65 and 70 HP engines from the same mold. [/QUOTE]
