Ok so I bought this 2018 E16 thinking I would just go ahead and upgrade the engine to a 90HP. I had another member point out that i may void my insurance by overpowering the boat which has me second guessing my original plan. I feel a bit silly shelling out several thousand dollars to only upgrade to the 75hp and really wanted to go 90hp if possible.
Is there anyway i can make this standard (not bigfoot) model 60hp engine work? I am willing to put on smart tabs and a four blade prop to improve the situation but i don't want to throw good money after bad if it won't get me where I want to be. I guess I want to be able to plane fairly quickly with 800 lbs onboard.....is this possible with tabs and a new prop? I don't need to be the quickest boat out there, just planing comfortable between 20 and 25mph. I might want to drag a tube around with two in the boat as well.
