More like a heavy thirsty boat, that 300 weighs in around 600 pounds and 7 feet tall :o. The 225 weighs about 450. And THIRSTY!!! isn't the word for a V-8 2 stroke, but they can be built up to move. The one in this ad would make me think twice. Compression should be 100, not 165.

[macojoe]

Lumber this is the wrong thread we looking for a motor :-/

dams, thats a monster of a motor, run from them when you see them!!

Reel I have thought about that!@!@

[lumberslinger178]

mj when i posted i didnt know u found the new boat.... and didnt relize this was a different thread i was havin a senior moment at 47 ::) :P

[dmas]

I know that's a dinosaur, he should be give it away for free, but I saw a small flat boat the other day on the bay, probably around 12, 14 foot with a new 300HP Suzuki engine, the shaft was short but the engine was really big, it looked like one of those small racing boats...that litle boat problably runs at more that 80 MPH..

[THEFERMANATOR]

This is what MJ's boat would look like with that big ole V8 on it :o.

[macojoe]

[reelapeelin]

Speakin' of wrong places, shouldn't that newly acquired Sea Ox be in "Off Topic" ;) ...

[THEFERMANATOR]

!! :o ...
I don't think the snook is the problem, I think it's the 700+ pounds of engine hangin off the stern.

I dunno, Fermo...my buddy's Everglades got one of those 700 lbers on it and it ain't about to sink ;) ...

[tsubaki]

[macojoe]

I just emaikled the guy and he said lower unit oil clean no metal, and that all compression is 115 to 120 ;)

[bradford]

No doubt that's as clean a '86 as there is...just keep in mind my ol' 150 Rude was an '86 and she'd sure suck down some more GAS :o ... ya might pay a little more for one of Skools' later models, but the gas savins' down the road would be WORTH IT ;) ...

[THEFERMANATOR]

Your 86 150 is the same basic engine that MJ has on his V-20, old school cross-flow engine. They are thirsty gas hogs for there output. That 86 225 is a good engine on fuel. It's a small-bore looper. The later 200/225's burned more fuel than the 86-87's small-bore's. The 88-91 large-bore loopers aren't that bad on fuel, but the 93+ are known to burn more. The later engines are more reliable, but I like my early small-bore looper. I've actually been eyein that engine myself. I like small-bore engines, LOT's of potential to build some HP ;D.

Looks like a nice motor.

Well then I say go for it, MJ!!... 8) ...

[macojoe]

I have to take some pic's for skool and send to him, I hope I get her going ??

[randlemanboater2]

I know it says it is a 25 inch motor, but it looks like a notched transom like mine that takes a 20 inch, I'd want to confirm that before bidding.

[THEFERMANATOR]

Model no says it's a 25". Alot of boats have notched transom's with 25" shafts. If the hull was origanally intended for two 25" shafts, then you have to notch it to run one 25" shaft.

[randlemanboater2]

Cool, I just saw the transom that looked like mine and didn't want MJ to have trouble.

Of course I think he should buy another bracket and put twin 140 Johnzuki's on there.
