I see that Joe referenced my boat. As you can see, I have the 60 ETEC on mine and I honestly cannot imagine how a larger motor could make it perform any better than it does now. It pops out of the water like a slingshot. I can run in the mid 30's without going WOT and will knock on the door of 40 at WOT. Sips gas and is very quiet. I think the weight is a perfect match by the way it sits in the water Don't think you would see that much difference in the hight HP.
