G'day All
I currently have a 4.49 Nomad with a 40hp etec on the back. The boat goes well, suits my needs, but the one problem I've had is that when there is a bit of weight in the boat it takes awhile to jump out of the hole.
So I was thinking of replacing the engine maybe with a 50 hp etec. Interesting thing is that the specs on the 40,50,and 60 are very similar which gets me thinking that they may be same engine with a few internal modifications.
This also gets me thinking that maybe the 40hp could be modified to increase it's power, and save me the cost, and trouble of repowering.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Cheers
