Why This Engine?

When you demand it all - power, speed, and full control - the 40 HP steps up. It's the best choice for larger boats with hunting blinds, multiple passengers, and lots of gear. It runs harder and faster, even in the thickest stuff. If you're hunting deep or want maximum load capacity, this is your motor.
