Do the same hp motors of different brand have beeter performance than other?In other words will a Force motor of say 75hp give you the same top end speed of a motor of a different brand? The reason I ask is that I am going to buy anew boat this winter and already have a Force 75hp motor that runs great.I noticed that guys in newer boats that are larger than the one I currently own were running faster with less hp than me. For example..Gullguide has a 17 ft crestliner with a 70 Yamaha and I have a old(very leaky) 16 ft Starcraft with the 75hp.Gullguide was running about 5mph faster than I was.(I am assuming that my performance is due to hull design and not hp)If I were to put my motor on a 17 ft crestliner would I have the same performance as Gullguides 70 Yam.? I wonder if any of this makes any sense?
