In the search to upgrade from my '79 150hp Johnson, I have found a 2002.
Are these a good year? Built by Bombardier?
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
After a season of operating my CC without a leaning post, I now have a bone to get one but don't have the sense to pay the big dollar that seems to be required to obtain one.
Has anyone ever built one and can you share your design/photos?
Or does anyone know where to pick one up for an...
I am in the hunt for a new powerplant for my 23' Starcraft mariner.
