    Want to make 18 hp evinrude into 25 hp

    I have a 1968 18802m 18hp evinrude. I also have a 1978 25 hp 25r78c johnson that's a parts motor. I prefer the evinrude as it's just lighter and nicer looking. I've been told that all I need to do to make it 25 hp is to change carbs. What all do I need and need to do to do this?
