Took off the heads to look at the salt and to my shock very little, the compression is 90 psi on all but 1 it has 80 so i took the head on this side first and found cylinder has some scoring, i'm going to re-ring her any way then. The marina said it was scrap and they had sold the power pack off due to bad flywheel, all it needed was magnets re-glued, dummies lol.

You wouldn't guess the parts i used lol the motor is a 1991 Evinrude 225 that's where it ends the flywheel is a 1989, the stator a 1997 Vecton 200, crank trigger a Johnson 200 from 1990, the brain is a CDI box for a 1999/2000 225/250 Looper V6, and last the lower unit a fresh 1988 standard rotation Johnson 200 . She's a mixed motor but runs like a top.

[Skools Out]

nope totally different they were the same as the old 175 and 200 cross-flow motors and super thursty

[reelapeelin]

[Skools Out]

here's the motor today being installed only took about 45 min to hang and bolt on the boat, that includes hooking the boat to the tahoe and backing to the motor.

Don't you guys just wanna go to his shop with a cooler full of beer and a chair?

[randlemanboater2]

Come on SKOOLS, leave the Evinrude an evinrude and put the Johnson next to it. Both all painted pretty. That would be a real attention getter.

[bradford]

I'd almost be willing to pay to be able to hang out and watch. ;D

[Kajun]

heck of a deal there!

[twistedparot]

you guys bring the beer. i'm bringing my boat!

[THEFERMANATOR]

I want those 140's. Them would go nice on a 248 I think.

[Skools Out]

the 140's they came off BR's V20 i was going to put them on my V20 but instead going to put one of them on the Sea Ox
