    The little motor that could. (no matter what I did to stop it)

    Bit of a book here, but it was entertaining. This problem has solved itself but I thought I would throw it out for you people to ponder over. Apparently Evinrude apparently makes 40 hp diesel outboards since recently while I was fixing a customers '95 40 hp 2 cyl outboard (tried to suck a...

    Is this oddball a good project?

    23' 1959 Lone Star, Cruise Liner (i think)<br /><br /> http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/9/2/78770892.htm <br /><br />From the research I have done this thing is basically a big pop can you can attach an outboard to. Its horrible about vibrations and bad on handling and acceleration. Its...
