I have seen this posted on the Norfolk Craigslist, but I am thinking it is your listing, if not give him a call, money talks.

Yea that's my post on Craigslist. I had one for the motor but my uncle snatched it from my dads house last for scrap aluminium without me knowing it. I'm a little bent about that.

good luck with finding any of that old trim stuff, when you do find it, it probably won't work, your best bet is a CMC tilt bracket http://cook-mfg.net/cart/index.php?m...5893853bd38284
its rated for 130 hp(propshaft), your 135 makes around 115 propshaft. Unless you have a lot of attachment to that old 135, you can find later model 88spl/90/115 V4 Johnrudes fairly cheap. The later model ones will run better on today's fuel, has a better water pump. Most of them come with power trim, lots of parts interchange as well. Keep your 135 heads and carbs if you want to make a hot rod out of it |

Just remember that this is a low ,low budget build. I have 2 135's laying around and a 115. the 135 that im gonna put on my V has super super super low hours on it the motor is still running very very close to factory compression and I am the third owner my dad being the second owner and his best friend being the original owner. I know were this motor has been and how its been treated. It is a flawless 76' 135. I took it off the original boat it was set up with and put the motor on seadrive bracket so I had to seperatre it from its original T and T bracket. Im now removing it from the seadrive and bolting it to this V20. I might say the hell with it and put it on the manual tilt bracket my other 135 is on. and really bring it back old school
