    Are those doughnut tires the best?

    I have a 1991 heavy heavy duty trailer made by JC... that has a 1994 JC 266 tritoon with a 4.3 mercruiser sitting on it. I want to use the trailer to go pickup a 2003 playcraft powertoon extreme 2700 with a 496 mercruiser. Both boat brands seem to have almost the same toon layout. Playcraft...

    Tachometer RPM gauges

    Replacing a rpm gauge tomorrow that I hope is faulty. It seems to read decent up to about 4500 rpms. But WOT it pegs out at 6,000. Talking about a 4.3 mercruiser alpha one on a 94 JC 266 tritoon. I can tap the gauge and it does jump around some. So, does it sound like a new gauge may do the...

I'm hoping it was wrong, but this prop looks too small also. Anyone have any ideas on its size? It currently has a...

    4.3 to 5.7 mercruiser swap

    I have a 4.3 mercruiser/alpha 1 outdrive setup in a 94 JC 266 tritoon. Is a 5.7 going to mate up with the the alpha 1 outdrive, a plug and play more or less. I'd assume motor mounts would have to change....and I understand I'd have to be easy on the alpha 1 due to the increased horsepower.

    JC 266 tritoon 4.3 swap

    Looking to purchase a 1994 JC 266 tritoon with a 4.3 mercruiser and alpha one setup. Not wanting to push the engine/outdrive to the limits by being crazy with hole shots or running top end. I'd just like to put a V8 in it for some sound. I know may seem like a waste... But id like to have...
