Re: motor change

What is ther VIP rated for, Dennis?<br /><br />If it can handle 65HP safely it is a no brainer.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

Re: motor change

Normally I would not swap out to that old of a motor, but seeing that your current motor is a Force, I too wouldn't hesitate, if your hull can handle it.

Re: motor change

I wouldn't exceed the max hp rating, Dennis.<br /><br />Suggest that you try to swap the Merc (and maybe the Force, too) for a nice JohnnyRude 50HP twin looper.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
