1986 Montauk 17 Re-power
Posted: Thu Dec 21, 2017 9:46 am
I have a 1986 Montauk 17 with a 1986 Yamaha 90-HP two-stroke-power-cycle outboard engine. I am considering re-powering with another 90-HP. I have concerns about weight and [acceleration onto plane] with a four-stroke-power-cycle engine.
[Are engine weight and acceleration onto plane with four-stroke engines] concerns or problems?
Looking at the E-TEC. I wonder what people's experiences are.
I am not sure what the transom weight [limits] are for older Boston Whaler boats. I hear [the transom weight limit] may be 386-lbs.
I know the newer [boats have a transom weight limit of] 410-lbs.
We do a lot of skiing and tube pulling. We load up [the MONTAUK] when going to the beach.
Thanks
