Author	Topic:   Evinrude 60 vs Evinrude 70
Wayneman	posted 04-14-2003 03:34 PM ET (US)         Hello there: Other than the 70 having 3 cylinders and the 60 2, do you think there is a large difference in performance on my old 1964 Nauset? The engine year is 1981 and in good condition. Thank you for any feedback.
JBCornwell	posted 04-14-2003 04:04 PM ET (US)             Hi, Wayneman. Evinrude also made 3 and 4 cylinder 60HP engines. The 3 cylinder, 70HP looper should show a lot more torque than the 2 cylinder, 60HP looper, and about 5mph more top end. I considered the 70 the perfect engine for a 16-17 Whaler until the JohnnyZukiRude 70 4 stroke came along. Red sky at night. . . JB
