Thats what has me interested......but until there are more units out there to see how they last in reality ...pro's and con's.....im not sure i want to plunk down the money on a 25 hp motor unless its something thats going to hold up Theory sounds absolutely wonderful but after reading reviews...

been a minute....any results from those that have tried these out?

After my first two runs and the lack of performance I am more than pleased with this out come....and from reading around the interwebz it would appear 15 mph out of an old 15hp 2 stroke seems very adequate ...especially considering the very rough conditions.... Now will be waiting to see how...

Well no, not really lol I was only hitting 8 mph at best then my prop spun .....the nose would stay in the air...at full throttle it only sounded like it was at half throttle (engine working too hard?) New prop, hydrofoil, went a click down on the trim settings..... After taking it out the...

added some 45 degree pieces as it was pretty **** sturdy front to back..but side to side had a little wiggle which I'm sure when trying to start on the stand would fail....so welded that up today with some spare pieces of metal I had....much more rigid....

Figured I need to use this welder I have resting in the shed for something lol My little welder that could lol Will get a piece of wood 2X8 or something of the like...thought I had left over from another project but alas I don't lol One wood is cut and Steel is drilled for bolts will...

Got the new prop...apparently slim options for this motor.... Merc makes a plastic prop only lol so went with it and will test it out Sunday...final thing that's on the "need to do list" is re-rivet the oarlocks on the boat as a couple rivets have popped.....

looks like I'll get a new prop in a day or two!!! Hopefully my next venture out will be the one where I don't need to row back LOL

Will find out tomorrow....looked at new props online around what should fit/work and the price isn't bad....as long as the repair isn't anywhere close to buying new....just a tiny prop.... But buying new would allow me to get a different pitch which is something I think needs done as well

If I can find one most likely will..... Or just buy new :)

Hit up a west marine and he had no clue so going to hit a prop shop in town tomorrow and go from there....prefer to just buy a new prop, something aftermarket should work? I wouldn't think props would be so proprietary but more universal but I guess not......

Ahh didn't know they could repair this....good to know! Not that I'm against buying new....I guess it comes down to cost

https://vimeo.com/104148091 **** thing just spins on its own shaft.... Are props of this size pretty universal or should I regret my boat purchase lol Engine is a US marine/force/Chrysler VWB-52122 Thanks! Looking forward to a nice day where I don't need to use my oars....lol Other than...

Need to find or make some collars as this one split and my search shows these are not for sale anywhere The gap between the gears causes more slack and binding than I like in the throttle....the slight binding will only get worse with wear and tear..... Need to search out someone that makes...

That site helped a lot...the pin pressed into the Lower bracket on the under side....got it back together and recoils perfectly

Cool thanks will check there....looking more and more like I'll have to create my own something or other lol ......

There appears to be something that the pin should go in/through....but can't seem to find anything else which tells me previous owner rigged it (can tell by the two different sized bolts and two different metal bolts) holding the top portion of the starter assembly to the engine that perfect...

Also found this pin and spring..... Was able to get the spring back to normal shape....but their still seems to be something missing?

Well that was an adventure! Let's just say I'm glad I purchased tow insurance!! So all started out fine...I even remembered the drain plug ;) .... just took my time got the boat in the water, no issues...2 pulls later she was purring just fine...backed her out and headed down the river.....If...
