				 Re: new engine 
 
			
			Jasper has a pretty good warranty if I'm not mistaken...If you feel like you're gettin' the straight scoop from your mechanic, have him check out the motor thoroughly, including compression testing all cylinders...If you feel the need, take it to another mechanic and have him test same (or you can get your own compression gauge and bone-up on how to test)...w/more HP, there also may be a need to change props, but to tell you the truth, you'll have to get that from someone more knowlegeable of I/O drives...
 You're postin' speed comparisons, but are you gettin' the same, better or worse RPMs from the new motor as the old?...
