If it is a good deal I'd go for it What did the 1660 weigh? Something like 880lbs. You'd only gain 2-3 mph top end and maybe 1 full second to get on plane with a 60, look up engine test with similar boats there's not that big of a difference, now if you have 3 guys in the boat a lot I'd look for a 60.

I have run this boat for 8 years underpowered with a 50 h.p. Now that I have it powered correctly with a 60, I love it! Do yourself a favor and don't go with a 40, you will be disappointed.....GUARANTEED! But I am only talking from experience not assumption.
