In an earlier post, I received some good info from the board on my 9.9HP that's on my Pro Team 175. I live in PA where many lakes are 10HP limits. So, I stuck with a little motor.
Those that govern here in the Commonwealth are currently taking public comment on whether or not to raise the horsepower limit on many lakes, which I totally support. In the event that they do, I would expect it to be 25HP. I say this because it is the next logical step in outboard upgrades. This also will allow people to gain a little more power without disturbing much on the lakes.
The questions that I have are...
My speedometer does not register at all with my current 9.9HP motor. What could I expect with a 25HP?
If I am allowed to upgrade to a 25HP motor, in a ballpark, what's a 25HP 4 stroke going to cost me?
(I have to start saving now while I hope and wait)
What's a 3 year old 9.9 Merc 2 stroke with less than 50 hours worth?
Are there other states with 10HP limits that I would be better off traveling toif I need buy and or trade?
(For those of you at dealers, I'm willing to travel and keep you in mind if and when I'm in the market)
If I upgrade, will I have to buy new controls or will my current ones work?
Thanks in advance for your comments...
