Repowering from 90 hp to 130 hp

[echo1012]

Thanks for the info guys. I would like to go up to the 150 but the 130 is already more then i can probably afford. I am dropping the boat of Saturday to have the new 130 E-tec put on. I was happy with my 2000 90 hp Johnson ocean pro so i am sure i will be happy with the new 130.

Also anyone know a rough estimate on how much my 2000 Johnson 90hp ocean pro is worth with both port side cylinders scored, starboard side good compression and look good, rebuilt trim/tilt last summer, good lower end. pretty clean motor other then bad cylinders?

I think you'll be happier with a 150. Power, fuel economy and just overall performance will be better.

NICE !!! Tell me more Destroyer.........
1. what motor and approx weight
2. how does it " sit " .....do you get water up through the scuppers
3. cruise and top speed.....

PM if you want - I'm close to bumping up to a 200.....from my perfectly good 150
