Years ago they measured outboard hp at the crankshaft but I thought
they'd switched to measuring it at the prop at some point.... seems
like in the early 1980's, not sure, it's been awhile back. And for a
few years after that, it was difficult to compare the new X hp engines
with an older engine of the same X hp.
Does anybody besides me remember it that way?
