a question for merc people or anyone else

[lathehand]

Yep Ridge still messing with the tower of power for all the reasons mentioned plus I can here the sound of them across the lake it's like music to me.The only reason I'm wondering about the possiabilty of bumping it up is I need to replace my 1977 merc1500 witch is original to my v.The old thunderbolt ignition needs to rebuitl and I can't find parts anymore.I gave a guy $100. for the 90hp with a bad lower. Turned out to be the pinion gear. Got a new gear for $150.I'm not realy into speed anymore and the 25 to 30 mph would be fine for me. But pulling the grandkids around tubeing and skiying isn't going to work. So weather or not anyone has heard of trying to rejet and retime a 90 I'll try a befor and after. All I got to loose is the $250 I got into it.The boating season is slowly comeing to a end around here so other than rerigging it may be spring when i can do some lake testing.

Pull the Jets & use the next letter size on the existing jets. should get at least 10% more power out of her. I have a little 800 Merc on my 19' Starcraft & kinda miss the 3rd tall person in the boat. Love the inline 6.

Grew up on Lake st. Clair & the fastest boats were the 16 DONZI w/ 383 Holmam & Moody. But the 16 Check mate would walk anyone with the
Merc 150, Across the flats they scream. Pull your arms off skiiing.
Man that was back in the 70's Am I really that old.

What ya got Red Stripe or Blue stripe? on your 90.
