I am about to purchase a boat with a 175hp high output johnson and was interested in hearing whether anyone has anything good or bad to say about the motor. Any difference between the ocean pro series verses the high output series?

The Ocean pro series has more stainless steel parts. Exactly what are they telling you about a "high output" 175? Some models of 60 degree V6's had a slightly different cylinder head to create more torque but it's really hard to tell the difference unless you have a boat with a performance bottom. When they say "high output" has someone done something to the motor to increase horsepower?<br /><br />Good luck!
