Check out the personal pages by "Length" and see if you find any members with that engine. http://www.whalercentral.com/viewpage...page_id=65

I'm sure there are naysayers out there, but you don't have to use all 50 hp right? I replaced my 2 stroke 40 (no power trim) with a 40 4 stroke with trim. To me it makes a world of difference as far as the handling at higher speeds.

The boat is stern heavy and he's got lead in the bow box. Tilted all the way up the skeg is still in the water a bit. Way way fast, so fast in fact it never gets close to full throtle.
