i found a couple 75 hp Chrysler motors for sale. listed at $100 each or make offer. calling tomorrow about them. not sure if they are complete (carbs ) ect… I have a 1989 force 50 hp on a 17' spectrum fish and ski. the motor runs really well but 25mph with me and 5mph with my girlfriend and 2 kids in it. I can pull a kid on a tube with me and another kid in it but looking for a lil more speed and hp. thinking about restoring one of these if they are complete or buying both if the two can make a full engine. im thinking worst case I can part out and the carbs alone would be worth the money on ebay let alone gears ect. guess my question is I assume by looking up these are 3 cylinder? how many carbs? 2-3? thought some of you might have the same style and can give me a few ideas. prob needs controls and wondering if these merc and Chrysler might be able to use the same one I have in boat now. the boat is rated for up to 85 hp. im not in a hurry but if I can get one of them and carbs are there I can take my time over a year and get the gaskets replaced carbs cleaned and replace any other parts that may be missing or broken. throw some info at me if you can.
