Putting a new motor on my 97 superfisherman. It says max hp of 125 for the boat.
Not sure if the HO version is worth the extra money.
Any pros or cons on either motor would be appreciated.
thanks mike

Re: 115 or 115ho

the ho is 390lbs, 15lbs heavier than the regular 115. it also has the power power valve that the 130 has, whih opens at about 4000 rpm, that adds power. so it's basically a 115 until 4000 rpm, then it's like the 130. weight and cowl design are identical to the 130, and i think price is the same too. nobody is quite sure, but the 115ho might be the same motor as the 130.
