MJ that sucks major I like BR's offer. I've seen the motor looks great and you'd be in bizness in no time. I bet your motor would part out for what BR is asking for his ??? What's the difference in the 175 you have and BR's 150? Will your reeds and carbs fit BR's motor and make his a 175? the cheapest shipping company is by far i've found www.freightcenter.com Just shipped Boater93's 225 from Mi to NC for $224.90.

After crying all day I am now getting excited again!!

Do you think that 175 carbs will fit 150??

this is a question for BS!! I am real interested!!! But can you hold a bit longer??

I have to sell some things to come up with the cash.

you guys are great!!

I just may have a new bo, cb's out now!!

CB will they go from 88 to 94??

what model is that motor BR??

I just went to a site and looked up mine and got the carb number, then looked up yours, they have 3 different models,
so I picked one at random, thinking that they probly all the same any way, and they matched!!

check reeds too you may need the 175 reed cages and reeds to make from 150 to 175 that's what an OMC changes

MJ - Looky here . . . You have two of these. They're a little older . . . still should be worth something.

Thanks BS, But after talking to few macihinic's I think that a rebuild by myself is out of the question!

I am going to try to work a deal with BR and get his motor here.

I checked and the carbs are the same numbers, I just don't know about the reeds??

But with all the parts I have for sale, I could make the cash, buy his fix the carbs, and be in ther water in short order!!

And best of all my boat is all rigged for his motor, just bolt and go.

i'd suggest premixed next motor. i've learned that plugs are cheaper than powerheads. pull the head off that side post a pic of the bad cylinder. you might be able to do a 1 hole fix. They really aren't near as hard to fix as shops want you to think. if it's very very light scoring just hone out the scratches put a new piston kit in that hole. rod should be still good.
