    Hi there, so just like the title says, would a 72 85hp Chrysler lower unit fit a 72 70hp Chrysler? I don't have a 70hp to compare, so just wondering if anybody would know right off the top of their heads ;) Thanks in advance

    Have you seen this? Where do I get a racing lower unit like that? Is it possible?

    So I found this youtube vid of an annual meetup of vintage race boats. There seems to be quite a few Chryslers present, (watch past the first minute or two) that are super hot. I know they are sweet to watch, but I wonder how hard/expensive it would be to replicate? The lower unit's are tiny...

    Jet Jon... Good Idea? or Blasphemy?

    Hi folks, so the other day I saw a Youtube video of a 12ft tin boat with a 750 jetski motor in it. It really peaked my interest, and upon further investigation I found that our New Zealand friends build these little powerhouses from scratch and have been for years. I think I would like...

    Hey folks, so I screwed up after hurrying though an impeller change on a 95 120 Force. I forgot to put the shifter in forward before pulling the lower :facepalm: My brain tells me that to reinstall, I just need to shift the handle into forward, then turn the shift coupler on the lower until...
