awesome, thanks..... yeah I'm poor but stubborn and creative so I just keep plugging along till it's done lol
my last project took two years of scrounging craigslist to complete but this one looks to be coming together much faster... twin 115's are tempting as heck but I'd probably need to find another parts motor for that so I'll stick with a single for now and see how it works out. I keep reading on here that these hulls really don't want to go fast anyhow. although I DID read the 12 page "hitting 60" thread... nice! then there's my big reason for picking this one up.... Fuel economy..... I HOPING that this single 115 will perform decently and do much better on fuel than the 1mpg I'm used too. |

thanks guys I picked up the other 115 today... it has no spark and I haven't tracked down why yet although the p/o said it needs a distributor because the trigger is bad. the power tilt does work tho and the engine wiring is in perfect shape. It also has a water temp sender added and a fitting for water pressure. Bought it for $50 :D
