Repowering Question

[Scuda11]

Hi everyone,<br /><br />I am repowering after blowing my engine last year. I have a 20ft Proline Center Console and had a 200hp Johnson, albeit a 1985 and prob running on 4 cylinders before it blew. <br /><br />I am going to look at a 1999 130hp Johnson today. My question is is this enough power for me? What kind of speed should I expect? It was a tough search because I need a 20 inch shaft.<br /><br />Thanks!

Re: Repowering Question

130 is not a lot of hp for a 20 ft boat and if you were running a 200 and you are a normal person YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY WITH LESS POWER.<br /><br />HTH.<br /><br />Mark

Thanks Mark. I think that with the engine I had, which ran real bad, and I think was running on 4 cylinders at best, that this will be faster but I hear what you are saying.<br /><br />I just want something to pull my 14 yr old daughter skiing and I fish.<br /><br />Thanks!
