Re: Repower I/O Qs.
Before the motor went...it'd go 40 mph tops. I usually ran it about 30. I expect the same performance with the new motor. It's turning a 19" SS prop.
A 5.7 sure would'a been nice tho'. :D

Re: Update...not so bright...
Like others have said..the worst part is over. Replacing wood and glass is easy....it's just messy. I'd consider using a two part foam underdeck to add strenght.

I hava 20" shaft on the 6hp Johnson that's attached to a kicker bracket on my I/O...works perfect. Any longer it would drag while under way with the main.
