Well, like we said, it's hard to tell. Either way, I can't see a rebuild
making an engine twice as powerful which seems about what you need so I
would still invest in the larger powerplant instead of hoping the
rebuild of the engine (slightly bigger than half the rated hp) will
solve the problem...

No, you "mount " your Dogs back, FAGGOT.

Are you still unemployed and crying on facebook because they don't
give unemployment
to those who have been fired??

Thats never happened, but nice try......

Besides, you're the one who " cried " about being jobless, getting
pushed down stairs by the Cops ( your Cousin...LMAO )..and boasted
about camping in a small tent with your Daughter......

Shall I go on? Does Terry watch? Do you fondle the horses...I bet you
do.
At least I still have a FB account...you dont....because you're a

85 max. The newer engine should have more power (just even if I
compared 55 from old to new), better gas mileage, but I run the risk
of it not being as dependable? What's your thoughts, should I upgrade
to a new more horsepower engine or update mine (which isn't a 100%
sure if you can get any more speed or gas mileage from the engine)?

That's pretty good. How many packs of smokes do you have on board with
those losers? If you cut your hair you could lose another 5# and go
even faster.

You have no idea what I look like lately...liar !

At least I have a boat.... you have.....zip....for brains as well.

I do have a boat, yellow teeth, one of seven in my life. It was built
in this decade so it's not some relic from Craigslist. As for you, I've
seen enough so no current photos are necessary.

That really does not tell you if it has water logged floatation foam
or not. 1972 is old enough that it may not even have foam. Can you
access all the spaces between the deck and hull? If so you can look
for foam. If it does have foam then in 40 years it has absorbed some
water. No matter how you use and store the boat. Simply being around
water is all that is needed. Weighing the boat is really the only way
to tell how much. The only way to do that is to weight your entire
rig and the leave the boat in the water while weighing it again.

A boat that old is practically worthless, sorry nothing personal, so
you probably should just make sure the engine is running well and it
has the right prop. For not a whole lot of money you could get a
larger, newer boat and engine built in the 90's. Imho it would not be
a good idea to spend that kind of money on a 40 year old boat.

How it sits in the water is a good indication of the weight, hence the
water logging problem, A lot of old boats didn't have foam anyway.

There are lots of reasons why old motors don't perform like new ones,
not the least of which is the lie they painted on the cover. They used
to use "bench HP" now they are rated at the prop. That can easily make
a 30% difference in actual power.

I agree I would not spend a lot of money on an old boat but if he is
OK with it, why not put in a few bucks to squeeze some extra life out
of it if money is tight.- Hide quoted text -

What could he do beyond making sure it was running right and had the
correct prop?
