hi guys
new to the site and all i have to say is there is so much information here its amazing
I live in rhode island
I have a 1990 starcraft mariner 18' (completley rebuilt) try and get pictures up later
boat is used 3/4 time salt in the bay and 1/4time in the lakes
It has a 60 merc (1990) 20" shaft on it...motor runs strong but thinking of repowering
Currently
W O T 30 kts with little gear 1 person
drops down significantly with family on board (wife, 2 kids and lab, gear) to 20 wot
to say the least it burns a LOT of fuel
plate says max 120hp
would like to go with a 4 stroke, but concerned about the weight of the motor/torque of 4 stroke/transom
got recmmemdations of yami 90 ,yami 115, and etechs
dont know what to do
what would you recommend repowering with?
thanks guys
jim
