I keep the boat on a trailer with the plug pulled out & cover over it
so I don't think it has soaked up a lot of water. I can tell just by moving the boat around in the water that is isn't a light boat but actually heavier then it looks. It only sits about 6inches in the water so it's not like it sits deep & has a lot of drag. I have heard that the chrysler outboards were heavier & not as powerful as other motors around at that time. |

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... -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - We race for cheese! * This coming from a man who claims to know things about 2 stroke, Motocross Bike engines, and has been pushed down stairwells by the local Cops.* He is short, uneducated, jobless, lives off his Wifes back, and also lives his life off of his Daughters back while camping in small tents with underaged girls. |

I heard he made a video on unemployment.I sure would like to view it. Yes, I did. The video in question were my ideas of how to better run the system, not have it open for a "slush-fund " for the Govt. to use at will. It had nothing to do with the lies Snotty Inger**** suggested. He was reaching....being so short. Too bad you never will see it. Its only available for Humans to view...not sub-species douchebags, like you, spoofer. Later, cumbucket. |

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 - - Show quoted text - What could he do beyond making sure it was running right and had the correct prop? |
