never had that much experiance with them, I've heard that properlly treated, they are good motors. Biggest probelm I can think of would be parts availability

Thanks Spare. So far Fly is wheelin and dealin....we've sent the pics of his enclosed trailer to this fella this morning to try and work out a trade. I told Fly we'll check the compression and if all checks out we'll drag it home, replace the h2o pump impeller, change LU oil, premix the fuel and run that Nissahatsu until it sh!ts the bed!

I love the little Mckee's. IMO they are as good or better than the Whalers. I've had my dad's out 3 miles on a perfect weather day. Would love to have a 50hp 4 stroke on one

Thanks for everyone's input.

I've got a 60 Merc on my 14, if I ever get time to get it out from under the cover I'll take some pics. That 60 Merc idles as good as any four stroke, and is allmost as quiet

I remember seeing a few pics of your 14'. I bet it will haul with that 60. Dad's has a 40 and she bumps along +/- 30 mph.

it does ok with the 60, I've only had it in the water once since i got ti done. We took it out and it hopped so bad I redid the layout in teh boat to move more weight fwd, I have yet to take it back out, weather's been to crappy when I've had time. My buddy has one with a 70 Johnson on it, its a pretty good match

The center console on dad's is a good bit forward so it helps a lot to reduce the hopping.
