MJ - If you don't like it . . . I'll buy it back from you :)
This was my dad's boat for 15 years . . . 25ft steigercraft with a 2.4L 200hp. 10.5 gph @3800 with a 15 pitch prop. It would top out at 5800rpm loaded. On a flat calm day it would just touch 40mph. The motor was still running strong when he repowered in 2001.

This was the first motor I ran on this boat.
But the Wellcraft went Thur a few 165 I/O, raw water cooled, rotted from the inside out 175 Yamaha, Oil injection failed 2nd 150 Yamaha was junk when I got it, 175 Evinrude that I sold with it. I really need to buy NEW but just can't swing the cash, and what a shame to spend $15,000+ for are short season! I am sure I will be fine this time around, I can feel it! BS gong to take care of me!!

Common now
You are so close to fix the Rude ..I have a v6 lower unit if you need it fix the darn engine it will last ..Good luck with the new engine , fix this Rude for spare , so when Ferm is on the road again you use the spare until he's back !
As for going to the "dark" side now you can compare !!

NYMack - You should see that motor . . . The motor is on it's 10th life. The only way that it'll survive is with a donor mid and lower and all new ignition and harness . . . and it's a BIG "if" whether the lower will drop. It's a total rehab . . . I wish it weren't. MJ is getting the motor with controls and prop mounted and rigged for $600 + the piles of aluminum scrap ;) Last edited by bigshrimpin; 07-24-2008 at 01:24 PM.

Yep time to move on!! Is the Merc the way to go?? But we are going to find out fast!
It makes a ton of seance on my part! BS gets all the parts that I will ever need, he knows everything there is to know about them, and is willing to help when I need it! I getting a great deal, and I have BS & CB as friends and fishing partners when ever they want to go! What else could a guy want?? well thses guys are cute but a couple of super models would top off the deal!

I'm glad someone on here is getting that sweet motor BS has......I bet you will like the Merc MJ.
Ever since I saw those extra clean Merc/Mariners that BS is getting in, I have been looking for a cheep speed boat hull to put one of them on (please don't mention this to my wife).
