Hello
I'm considering swapping out my 2001 johnson 50hp for a 75hp etec. Is the added 25hp worth the added 120# in weight? Mainly trying to get more power for tubing/skiing. The 50 runs great but the kids aren't getting any smaller. Would consider a different boat but anything bigger gets wider and doesn't fit int the garage door... New shed?!!
 
Yes I believe it is especially if you have the 4 stroke johnson. This is not a direct comparison But i have a 16' starcraft fisherman that had a 1993 yamaha 2 stroke 50 hp. I went to a 1986 evinrude 70 hp and there was a significant power difference.
