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.

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

Re: Skool's Twin 225 Project
 

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.

Re: Skool's Twin 225 Project
 

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

Re: Skool's Twin 225 Project
 

heck of a deal there!

Re: Skool's Twin 225 Project
 

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

Re: Skool's Twin 225 Project
 

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

Re: Skool's Twin 225 Project
 

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
