    25HP vs 40HP motor swap

    The 40 HP motor isn't that much heavier and the added HP will make a Big difference. Make sure when mounting the Foil on the motor is at or just above the boat bottom. I moved my motor up 1 1/2" to accomplish this and gained 4MPH. Good Fishing!

    1960 18hp Evinrude Fastwin NEEDS More Power
