Horse Power

Hi Blue,

Don't know about your jack plate question, but my '83 came new with a Johnson 140 just like the ones you have. Before the engine let go, I went out several times with the original owner (family friend) and I have to tell you that I thought it had plenty of power. 30+ easily. I'm a bit of a speeder, but I didn't really think it was grossly underpowered. I repowered with a used 87 200hp Johnson that sucks fuel and runs mid 40's. I'd probably still be running on the 140 if it hadn't let go. BTW mine is a 25" shaft.
