It surely won't push like the 75.But you will be amazed at the better mileage.With a newer motor. If you only cruise with one or 2 people you may be ok but I think you should hold out for something bigger.You don't usually here anyone say "boy I wish I had a smaller motor"The bigger motor will still run circles around the old 75.both mileage and performance.
Hey, I think it will push it just fine. I had a 89 50 Jonhson on a 16 ft bowrider and it moved Nicely about 28 mph. I think the new 50 your thinkg about will do the job nicely and will be more reiable and better fuel econemy than your old 75
well after some careful thought and research I feel if i go with the 50 I will always want a bigger (v4) one, so it will be the 88 spl. be ready by mid week. 8)
