Jet or Jet Conversion ?
I recently picked up a Waco 2050-16
http://www.alohapontoons.com/205016.html Yes I bought it with the options that upgrade to 50HP rating. I have a 50HP Force that I bought for another project. Don't know if it is any good. I bought it cheap and it has sat in my shop for almost a year still in the crate. Anyway, if the Force doesn't check out I was thinking of looking for a jet. I see Mercury has a 40HP outboard jet. http://www.mercurymarine.com/mercury_jet_40 That might be able to push it ok, but after I get the boat fully rigged I would sure like to have a little extra margin. Also, since jets are less efficient than prop drives I'm not sure I want to take that big of a backward step. Does anybody know of a current 50HP jet? How about a conversion for another popular outboard. Better yet, if my Force checks out, how about a conversion for it? -- Bob La Londe www.YumaBassMan.com All about fishing in Yuma, Arizona Promote Your Fishing Website FOR FREE www.DiyComponents.com Buy professional quality components for DIY Projects |
