That could mean as much as 2 model years difference, the test in 2010 could have a 10 model year and the test in 6/2011 could possibly have a 12 model year. The boat is 20 lbs heavier on the 40 test and is a ccj deluxe model. Wind speed is higher on the 60 test, plus altitude and temp is higher. 0-20 speeds were taken with an aftermarket speedometer, usually not that accurate. There are way to many variables to compare and make a decision from these two reports.IMO you should be able to feel the difference in a 60/40 vs a 40/30. The 60 should pull away, neither will be incredibly fast, but you should get at least 2-3 mph faster. Plus a better holeshot and be able to carry more weight. The 60 won't work as hard to keep it on plane.Just my .02 worth from those 2 reports.(Disclaimer) Don't take it to mean that I'm putting down the 40/30, that is not what I'm getting at, they are good engines. If you are deciding between these 2 try and get a ride in both and decide from there. But I think you'll notice more than the reports say.</blockquote>
