Default changing lower ends n Evinrude v-4

yep! They both run very well. especially the 115 seeing it had a new
power head and was used only one season before being mothballed from
the wrecked boat. It sat in a garage for about 15 years before I
bought it. I've run it and it ha strong compression and fires off
well. The 85 hp is possibly underpowered for the boat and it's
potential load.

4 cycle? yeah, r-i-i-i-i-g-h-t!

Not need for me to go spend out about $10-15,000 $ to put on something
that may be used 5 times a year.

Besides, If I was going to go 4 cycle, I'd install a mercruiser 120 hp
Gm with Alpha 1 I have from a derelict. I bought for spare parts.
