Good morning,
Just a question to see if this will work for me. I have a 1975 Ranger 155a, and my 1976 evinrude 70 hp has left this earth for a better place. .
I have access a 1979 Johnson 55 hp from a buddy that just has it in his garage and it runs great.
Will this push my boat? The boat is rated at 85 hp so I know I'm at the border line bare minimum. I usually just take my wife and I or 1 other buddy. Once in a great while there might be 3 of us, but not very often.
I'm not looking break any speed records, just fish and fish some more. In fact I usually never travel over 20mph anyway.
Just want to make sure this is enough engine for the boat before we swap it out.
btw, I'm just using this as a quick fix to run the rest of this season and maybe next before I upgrade the whole boat.
thanks in advance,
Tom
