I have a 40Hp Johnson 1988 with VRO.<br />Some more horse powers would be great <br />to have.<br /><br />If life was a spelling competition, I<br />have been a loser. But I´m not!<br /><br />
Re: What´s the difference between a Johnson 40Hp and 50Hp??
If you are real good at bargaining, Andreas, the difference could be as little as a couple hundred bux.<br /><br />If you have some insane notion about hopping up your 40 to make it a 50, figure on more like $1500.<br /><br />Good luck.<br />Red sky at night. . . <br />JB

Andreas, first be sure your 40 is in perfect tune, has good compression, is propped right, etc. Start with the basics and make sure your 40HP really is 40Hp!
Re: What´s the difference between a Johnson 40Hp and 50Hp??
Good advise. Make sure you are using a full 40 HP now. The difference between a 40 and a 50 in 1988 was the reed stop dimension. <br /><br />Good luck!
