Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
i have a 1988 vip 15ft. it now has a 1988 50 hp force, i dont like this eng. i also have a 1967 65hp merc on my run about, great little eng, please give your comments on swiching motors.
Normally I would not swap out to that old of a motor, but seeing that your current motor is a Force, I too wouldn't hesitate, if your hull can handle it.
I wouldn't exceed the max hp rating, Dennis.<br /><br />Suggest that you try to swap the Merc (and maybe the Force, too) for a nice JohnnyRude 50HP twin looper.<br /><br />Good luck.
