You can't go just by the numbers, as the older engines were geared
higher. Faster shaft and prop, more drag, less effective power. We swing

Thanks Je

Very helpful information to chew. Your statment about owner earnings
compared to yard hourly rates is a very compelling concept. My earnings
come rather easily compared to what thoes hard working, knuckle bustin,
yard guys do daily.

You have detailed my nagging fear regarding "all the extras." I can see
how a new model repower just might start a cascade of events I am not
quite ready to handle.
Thanks again,
Bob
