i own a 16ftopen fiberglass Mitchel boat w/side console and a 35hp johnson seahorse . its a v hull and has a doelfin on the motor. i am looking for more speed the prop is a 10-1/2x11. I am looking for a 50 to 75 hp johnson to replace the 35hp- (1977). I just had my 1st child a son and money is kinda tight. Anyone have one for sale or does anyone have another idea ? The 35 runs great but it needs more oomph. I would also like to stay with the 2 shifter console 1 throttle and one for forward and reverse.

Re: need more speed

Don't go higher than the hull rated horsepower. You open yourself up to alot of liability and dangerous conditions if you do.
