If the retired CG cutter ACUSHNET was still for sale (it might be, I dunno) that would be perfect. A little bigger than you want but well suited to that environment (she was homeported out of Ketch for 12 yrs before decomm).
That's double what you usually see for a jon that size, plus the extra weight of a much older outboard. Best case scenario she just sits ass low in the water, worst case scenario it rips the transom off. Basically, FAFO lol.
Went up next to her too (and the old JFK carrier at the old Philly navy yard but didn't get a close up pic of that, the carrier was more for my old lady to see a supercarrier up close & personal).
eBay. I picked up a 2004 F150 with 299 hrs on it, came with fresh impeller and balancer done. Was a trade-in at a marina shop. They even offered the choice of leaving it as an 25" shaft or converting it to a 20" (I may have the only 20" '04 F150 lol).
Not much else you can do if the boat isn't sitting on the trailer. All the top stuff is fair game. You can put a locking lug(s) on the spare tire (if you have one) but that's pretty much it.
1996 Mariner with close to 400 hrs that I was using up until last year and the oil injection worked just fine. I'd still be using it, but a deal on a Yamaha F150 was too good to pass up.
Hi everybody, as some of you know I'm putting a 292 in place of a 250 in a 17.5' Crestliner. Having a 165, the gear ratio is 1.65 and the original prop is 14.5D/17P. Any idea/suggestions for a prop for the new engine?
