I do like the idea of this Johnson 50 and I like the way it looks on my boat. Are you suggesting that I should add an additive and decarb the engine. It sounds like there is more to it than that.
How much actual performance benefit is raising the engine two holes? I will need to remove the lower bolts, reglass the holes and redrill holes that will match up with the lower holes on the engine bracket. I can do that if you guys think that it will really makes a difference. A new prop is certainly in the mix. I just don't want to do all these steps and spend another $500 or $600 just to buy a new Yahama F70 anyway.
I know it's my call but I really appreciate your advice as you own these boats too and I value your opinion. Thanks
