"...is it worth it? I tried to get some help on re-jetting a 2006 F15 Four Stroke to run it at 4,800' but I'm told it cannot be done. Changing the prop does nothing to help performance, already tried that. So that motor is junk, at least at this elevation. I'm thinking about trading it in on a 2007 20 HP Four Stroke. Because I would be buying this model here in the rockies will the performance be any better? Will it actually plane a 15' aluminum v-hull? If not then obviously it wouldn't be worth it. Hard to believe a 20 hp wouldn't be capable of 20 mph on that boat. What about going to Mercury or Evinrude, any difference? Or how about a two stroke? I just need a motor that is capable of planing the boat. By the way the boat is rated for 25 hp max.
Thanks for any suggestions."
