well the new engine has been torn down... turned out that to swap power tt for manual correctly the best method is to just pull the lower unit and powerhead. I now have the new midsection hanging on the boat and a couple new holes drilled... will have to remove to glass the old holes and seal the top edge of the transom but I'll get the engine back together first..
BTW the new engine which also hasn't run in years has been compression tested and ranged (with a low battery) from 128-135 psi so it should be a fine spare powerhead. It also had new never fired plugs in it.... oh yeah I AM that cheap lol

Looks like you are doing well with the "free" boat, but I can tell the temptation is growing to spend some cash.

Looking good Smoke. Welcome to the Cult. I love finding deals. After a while people will just start bringing ya stuff. I had to talk my neighbor into keeping his Chris Craft Scorpion (basicly the same hull design and setup as a V20 Cuddy) until I could free up some space. If you were closer and had joined a few months ago I had an old 115 Merc I would have traded to ya for a 12 pack of Busch Light.

Well I have the engine back together and have mounted the new engine harness that came on the second engine... looked like it was brand new
jjj 004.jpgjjj 006.jpg see anything wrong with the old one? jjj 008.jpg got her fired up again and ran a gallon or so through her at idle getting smoother all the time... I might have mixed in a bit too much oil though jjj 005.jpgjjj 007.jpg

The thing I love about the Merc 1150 TOP engines are they are so skinny that you can mount two of them side by side in almost the same space that you would use for a 200 JohnnyRude or Yammy...plus since the tilt pump and reservoir are inside the boat there's even less clutter on the outside of the transom. I actually have one sitting in my yard from a boat that I scrapped...much like yours it sat forever.. took a little coaxing at first to get her fired up, but just got better and better from there. Pretty sure I have a new set of hydraulic hoses for it also.. Plus controls... Some day I'll find a sweet little Whaler or a 17 Wellcraft CC to mount her on.

sooooooo how bout some ideas folks... What should I put in two holes in the interior of the bow....6.5" square and 6" deep possible
P/O said there were speakers there and I guess I COULD cut out the holes bigger for 6x9's but there are already cutouts for 6x9" in the console and that's more than enough for me. I spose I could glass em over too... A sink of some sort would be nice but I don't know of anything that would fit. Brainstorm time :D jjj 351.jpg
