    Evinrude 115Hp V4 Project Rebuild / Repowering a Fourwinns Fling Turbo jet boat

    I am going to take the motor out and take it apart and inspect it for damage. Inspect the hull and the jet pump. I am willing to spend a bit of money on this project but I don’t want to throw good money after bad.
