[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 462305, member: 3278"] [size=5]A 1976 35hp is powerhead rated as has been stated already. It is probably around 30hp at the propeller. The newer Etec 40hp is propshaft rated and is in the neighborhood of 43-44hp at the prop. Do your math.... More cu. in. as well so the acceleration will be better as will the load carrying ability. The gearcase is quite a bit different and swings larger diameter propellers that have a better/faster design to them so efficiency is increased. You should see a significant improvement in speed and acceleration. [/size] [/QUOTE]
