Subject: 60 hp four stroke / is EFI worth it?

Here’s my thoughts based limited hours. Last year I put about 40-50 hours on a 60 Merc 4-stroke. It ran flawlessly and was a great motor. Due to some lucky circumstances they replaced my motor with this years EFI model. I put the first three hours on it yesterday. There is a noticeable difference in throttle response between the carbureted and EFI. My new EFI builds rpm a lot quicker than the old carbureted. Can’t comment on fuel efficiency diffs yet. Haven’t had her wide open for top speed, but she quickly got her rpm’s up. Other than that the motor sounds the same, idles at the same speed, and it's still MADE IN USA.
Have fun
