    15hp mariner 4 stroke upgrade to 20hp?

    Rpms are about 5600-5800.The motor was actually brand new from 1998 still on a crate when i bought it last year and it has the factory prop, it says 48-9 so im not sure if its 9 pitch or 9 diameter. I had a '76 Johnson 20 on the boat before and it ran about 24-25 on the same load, that's my...

    15hp mariner 4 stroke upgrade to 20hp?

    I have a 1998 15hp mariner 4 stroke made by Tohatsu on a 14' Lowe semi-V.I'm only getting around 16-18mph out of it. From google I can see that people have done research to see the engine is the same between the 15hp and the Tohatsu 20hp but the main jet, slow jet, main jet plug, and the main...

    WHAT IS IT?

    From the side picture it appears to be riveted but its hard to tell honestly. Either way it looks like a great boat!

    Will it tow the rig?

    It doesn't matter if there is a hitch available. Hitches like that are used for all kinds of things such as bike racks. My prior point is still valid. If the Scion has no tow rating it CANNOT legally tow anything. It may tow the boat, not saying it won't but I know I wouldn't risk being...

    Will it tow the rig?

    Even if the car WOULD tow, if you are in an accident WHILE towing in a vehicle not rated to tow the insurance will try to say the accident was caused by the fact you were towing unsafely and they WILL NOT pay for the damages. Its going to be A LOT bigger of a loss than a 1984 chevette or a 30hp...

    Will it tow the rig?

    I searched for the towing capacity of the car and I only found N/R (not rated) The scion may tow it but you need to look in the owners manual and see if towing is recommended. If you tow with a car that is not rated for towing and you have an accident while towing you will have a lot of problems...

    getting my 1977 Johnson 25hp

    I got the boat on the trailer and the motor on the boat today but I ran out of time and wasn't able to try to get it started. I put the fuel line on and pulled it about 3 times and ran out of time. Maybe I'll have better luck finishing it on my next day off.. Also, If I go ahead and buy a...

    What is this starcraft worth?

    I've decided to just restore the 14' Lowe I've got. This starcraft is pretty rough, going to be needing a new floor, seats, and transom I think. Oh well, Maybe over the winter I will find a good deal on one in decent shape.

    What is this starcraft worth?

    https://kansascity.craigslist.org/boa/1887846130.html Here is the link, I really like the deep V starcraft boats. I figure I could go fishing out of this one but yet still pull a person on a tube pretty easily. So my main question is what is it worth? NADA is always WAY lower than what...

    getting my 1977 Johnson 25hp

    I should have added that, it has spark also. Since I've owned the motor it has always produced a spray or water out of the back but never really a stream like our newer 70hp evinrude. Should this motor also produce a solid stream or is a spray of water alright too? it never seemed to overheat...

    getting my 1977 Johnson 25hp

    I'm a new member here, it seems like a really great site so I decided I would join up and jump right in. I have a 14' Lowe V I am going to be putting on my lift on the lake and I want to get the motor running good first off. When I used it last about a year ago I had ran it out of gas and it...
