Re: Re power
Not sure how you are going to raise the transom especially if it's aluminum....
One thing you do need to beware of and that is every boat has a maximum horse power rating that is not to be exceeded. Most recommend that you be within 75% of that rating or greater for best performance.
As far as economy, any newer technology engine should give you the 20 - 30% you are looking for. Etec is a 2 stroke and claims as good or better fuel economy then the new 4 strokes.
Etec is a good choice for smaller boats being re powered from older 2 strokes since 2 strokes in general weigh less then a 4 stroke of equal horsepower. Engine weight, especially in smaller boats does make a big difference.
