I went to a high school homecoming game/reunion last night and had a

last week and we did some talking about doing a river run next year. I
have previously posted about going out with he and his family on the
Wabash river launching in at Vincennes In. I find out that when the
river is up you can go all the way up to to Hunnington and a bit
beyond which is near Ft. Wayne Indiana

http://www.wabashriver.us/access_points/index.htm

Vincennes is the nearest launch to the Wabash for the both of us, and
if you consider Vincennes to be "0" on the miles, you can consider
that to make the full run north would be approx. 200 miles. We're
very well considering doing that with the pontoons next year. It would
make the perfect "mother ship" to carry all the stuff necessary to
make a really enjoyable run. Besides, as you can see by the map,
there's several ramps and marinas along the way. So if need be, stuff
can be had with out a great inconvenience.

We also talked about power. Making a run like that with a 1977 Johnson
V-4 would be fine if I hauled a tanker behind it because it loves to
drink the gas. I have in the past bought a couple of clapped out
boats to salvage the mercruiser engines and alpha drives in case I
needed them for future use for my 18 ft. Chris Craft. I know that the
ratings are different and the 85 Sea Horse presently pushing the
pontoon actually would have more torque than a 120 hp GM 3.0, but at
the sacrifice of double the fuel consumption, if not higher. Besides,
I'm more versed on working on an automotive style 4 cycle than a 2
stroke. And I think that eventually by force or by choice, the old 2
strokes are going to be fading out really fast in the near future, so
may as well entertain the thought of doing a conversion this winter.

He said he has a friend in Mt. Carmel who has a 28 ft. Harris who had
his converted over a few years ago, and suggested I talk to him about
his. He did tell me that a local welder in Mt. Carmel has done a good
job at converting several over to even putting 350 GM's in them!
Besides his shop rate being very reasonable, he's well versed in steel
and aluminum fabrication so that sounds like a good recommendation.

Then with the 3.0 GM I can outfit the charging system the way I want
to power the options I want as well, instead of relying on the 10 amp
stator 'battery charger' on the v-4.

Sometime next spring I still want to make the Ohio river run with the
'23 Marquis, but this new thought is a sounding like it could become a
great trip.


Sounds like some great ideas. It would be interesting to see how much it would
cost to convert the pontoon boat to an I/O with the GM 3.0. Do you have any
pictures of the conversion? Here's another thought: You might consider a
two-step conversion, like one I just learned of. First convert your outboard
pontoon boat to cash, then convert the cash to the boat you really want!


Are you looking to replace the KW?

No. I love that boat. So do my grandkids and fishing buddies.

You were referring to your previous boat. Got it.

I Ithink this guys got a cool idea. Strap two canoes together, small
outboard, camping gear, and a dog.

Then go exploring.

If it were my dog, he'd be cleaning up dog puke the whole trip.

Well, maybe he's got the dog trained to hurl overboard.

Guess I need to but a convertible. Wonder how much a Mustang convertilbe will
tow?

also infuriates him that he's the" Counter Boy ", but prefers to lie,
