I went from a merc 150 2s to the new 150 4s. Actually increased wot by a little- 38mph to 42mph. Hole shot was biggest difference. Hard to describe, but the boat felt more "nimble" with the 2s. Also think the boat rides deeper in the v when on plane with the 4s.
The boat feel like it's in 4wd all the time verses 2wd. Not a bad feel, just different.
While it seems you've found the unicorn 26 year old hull with dry bones, I'd eliminate that trim on the transom and cap with glass, just to eliminate a future issue.
Nice find!!!
