Engine poll: please everyone respond.

#1 sounds like the easiest way to get your boat on the water. Although you may be disappointed in the performance of the 140 compared to your old motor.

Well i've never actually had a motor running on this boat yet, so I don't have anything to compare to.. lol Meant to say I currently have OMC controls.

#1 or #4 would be my choices. YAMAHAs are good engines, but when you need parts it gets expensive REAL quick. The 150/175 OMC's are great engines, but I would rather have a standard rotation myself for better prop selection. The 90 degree OMC loopers are plentiful out there, and parts are readily available and cheap by comparison to the rest. Plus you already have the OMC controls.

I'm with Ferm, #1 or #4. #4 because as soon as you get something the deal of the century will get posted in the classified section.

I'll give you my old 90 model 225 with controls and prop for your Mckee.

[Skools Out]

i say #4 since you will be having the 140 shipped from NY plus there are a ton of 200 / 225 J/E motors out there.

I posted this earlier cause I think you can do better in the same price category...try to get at least 150 on it...there's a 150 OMC out there for you..be patient, it'll show up and it'll be SO worth it...

Don't count out the 140 OMC, it is one STRONG 140HP. I know my 140 on my 19' BOWRIDER outran a guy in a 18 GLASSTREAM with a 175 EVINRUDE on the back, and to top it off I had 5 people in the boat to him being by himself. Needless to say he came over scratching his head looking at my boat when I pulled up on the bank wondering why my engine was so short.
