time to repower

[ebol5]

Welcome aboard Nipper! (From the 1st "official" DAWG of the month ;D). I agree with minimum 150HP outboard advice, I had a 150 when I 1st got mine and have had 2 175 power heads since then (21 years). They have all been older Johnson and Evenrude so I have no experience with newer motors. But I have always felt comfortable in any conditions with the V6 power. My nephew in-law has a new E-tec and likes it..and it is very quiet. There are alot of guys here (as you can see) that are much more knowledgable then I and they are always willing to help (although I wouldn't go camping with several of them.) :o ;D
