I was expecting there to be a bigger weight difference but it isn't too bad. Honda 359, Evinrude around 275. So that shouldn't be much of a factor. What was the top speed you were getting with the Evinrude? I hope it wasn't 23 cuz that would be terrible. You should be seeing 35ish at least with a 90HP on an 18' hull.
