Pretty hard to find the big boats i know of only 2 available both without trailers
Seems there are a ton of 15 foot glass boats out there but u dont get much room on them, a little savage or naugtiglass 15 footers would be an easy job
Pod, wave breaker, 140hp (they are rated to 85hp)
I can't say putting a 140 on any of those early design Easy Riders and so on would be a big hit, 70-90 would be plenty and bordering on max safe speeds, not to mention the weight on the transom.
One of those old 2l 140's will tow an e-tec of equal HP (let alone less) backwards any day of the week, they were a torque monster, very powerful motor, but heavy as hell!
I had a E 140hp 1996 on a 5.6m swiftcraft it did have enough power to push the boat easy, i always thought the 90 thru to 140 used the same block just different carbs
No, the 90-115 shared a common block, but it was more than just carbs between the two, but, the 120 was a 90 degree 2 litre, huge motor, I had a cat with a pair of 120s on it, repowered with 115, DFI Evinrudes and the old motors were heaps better, except at the servo, the 120s took some feeding.
There are a few of these old girls out there that could be spruced up with a newone paint job
There was a 2007 tohatsu 140 the skinny black model on fb for $1300 low compression in one cylinder i could get something like that rebuild it and have a awesome engine for 2.5k
These are the old girls on fb unloved deals
You only do these projects if your going to keep and use them they are not money making exercises
Once a outboard is lying on the ground for a forsale photo id say it’s life is over
look at the dramas you had with that etec spent a fortune and sold for parts in the end
for a few grand more you can get a engine that’s still running well
neglect killed those old outboards save for a few months longer and buy a runner
Soon as the word over-capitalise gets used it makes me think, you’re thinking, you could put all this effort in and if it wasn’t to your taste you could sell it for a few extra dollars.. as soon as most people these days see old two stroke engines they immediately start budgeting for a re-power and would no where near pay what it would cost to refurbish one. Money losing exercise for sure. You’d only do it if you were certain you wanted a specific hull and planned on keeping it a long time.
Like what Noelm did with his CC Shark Cat. Though if Noelm sold his he’d probably get his money back or close to it because he went 4 stokes.
