I have a question.. I am rehabing an old whaler.. Are the mats under the fuel tanks original or are they something the previous owner added?

50 pushes the boat about 36mph wot with a moderate load. Im pleased with the performance. That said if I were repowering I would get a 60 or a 70 for the relatively small price differential and I would probably get the Yamaha F70.

Great advice.. I will persue the 60 or 70.... I want a 2 stroke if I can still get one

See here for choices:

The highest power available in 2-stroke is the Evenrude E-Tec 60. Pay close attention to the weights. The Yamaha F70 is only about 17lbs heavier than the E-Tec 60
Also Tohatsu makes a 4-stroke 60 that similar in weight to the E-Tec 60
