thanks guys. really appreciate the replies and advice. Interested to hear more if there are any other considerations i should take into account when deciding between these two motors. Do we think the additional 60/70 lbs is an issue?
basically, i want the extra power but not if it will not have the boat sit right and not generally right for the boat...the 1986 Montauk hull is the same as the SS (aside from the interior) correct?
