Looks like what i got but mine is a 93.

Stinky, I'd check compression and lower unit on that motor and if that checks out, which I think it will, I'd buy that motor...don't think it's gonna last long ;)...

[Stinky_Hooker]

I didnt say i could buy it...just asked whatcha thought. ;D

I wish I could, but not right now. ::)

I have been looking to see what I may get one for. Just kicking some ideas around. I am itchin bad to get out of this 18 by next spring. If I have to save money by fishing less this summer I am gonna try and do it. I am getting clostraphobic (sp?). 8)


What kinda milage you get out of your 93 Zebra? Ive always heard the JohnRudes are thirsty so ive kinda been set on a Yammie.

I don't know about the older/bigger ones but my 99 115 Johnson is a sipper not a slugger.

[Zebra]

wish i had a navman, not sure how it does just that i'm glad we have 60 gall. tank. I try to run around 3,000 3500 rpm and it does better. It's got that loud 2 st. chug, I kinda like the sound though and mine blows off alot of smoke. It does get up and go. I top out around 5500 and 48.5 on my GPS. I'd like that 2001 Yamaha 200 OX66 the other guy found for $4500. Always just more cash...

Stinky, I like that motor. And, the big PLUS is that they've already broken in the skeg on it ;)

[Stinky_Hooker]

The skeg...yeah that was a big issue for me. ::)

[reelapeelin]

Stinker, I didn't say you should buy it...all I said was I'd buy it, you thong-bustin', fish-ketchin' macheen... ;D ;D ;)...

Hey,

Maybe Skools can answer this; where's he been ???

Anyway, is it possible to take this engine, remove the tilt/trim motor and stuff and use it on a sea drive? *Would it mount properly to the sea drive? *

Or maybe Willie the sage knows the answer *;)

That's a pretty good price for that engine...

[reelapeelin]

You're right, Skools can tell us for sure...we had this discussion once B4...seems like some POWER HEADS might fit, but not the whole thing... ;)...

[willy]

ByGrace, the only sage I know I put on my lemon chicken. As far as I understand the system used on the sea drives is propriatery and it is a different mounting system than any thing else. I believe you cannot mount other outboards on it.

[macojoe]

No you can not!! Unless you get another seadrive motor, it wouldn't be worth the trouble. And how good is another one going to be anyway??

Go Bracket Young Man!!

[Skools Out]

actually yes you can put that whole motor on your sea drive but would be a major pain. not worth it.
