not completely sure if im in the wrong forum but i know the merc 90 sport jet is pretty much just a force powerhead on a jet drive right ... ok well i was given a 94 sugar sands mirage jet boat and theres really not alot of info on the net about them and as i own a force 85 outboard i noticed alot of things were pretty much the same. that being said... can i take any 1994 mercury 90 hp powerhead and change the base plate to match up to my jet drive or were they made model specific for the jet boats ? i know theres a few things different but mine has a blown head gasket and the bottom piston and cylinder are pretty scored and seems to have a good amount of side play. the boat its self is literally in mint condition i mean like almost showroom condition. it gleems in the sun for a 94 and i know these are fun little boats. i just dont wanna buy a head gasket and slap it in and find that the bottom piston is really wasted bad and id rather not have to have it bored out. can it be resleeved ? top 2 pistons are in incredible shape as well as the cylinder bores.
