    Johnson 175......what year?

    Im considering the purchase of a deckboat with this OB mounted on it. Any idea what year this might be from, and if it is rated at the crank or the prop? Thanks!

    Jet conversion

    Not sure if this is the right place to discuss jet conversions, but I'm wondering who has done it and what is involved. I highly doubt that I could find pieces that would be compatible with my current setup, so this is basically just food for future thought. I will eventually seek out a 115hp...

    steering replacement and wheel compatibility ???

    I'm looking into replacing the steering system on my Holiday, going from cable/pulley to rotary. I've checked out the differences between the NFB 4.2 and the Uflex systems, but how does one know if certain steering wheels will work with them? I can't imagine that all the wheel options on the...

    Its only taken 14 years!!

    We decided to celebrate my boy's birthday by going out to the lake this weekend. We just picked up this boat about one month ago, so we are definitely still learning. A friend of ours asked to come along and brought his wake skate and kneeboards. One is compression, the other is old-school...

    Thinking of a re-power.......your thoughts?

    I've only had my Holiday for about 3 or 4 weeks now, and I've taken it joy riding across the lake, fishing, and attempted skiing with it. It doesn't quite have the performance I expected, and can't pull me out of the water (6'3, 240lbs) on 2 skis, let alone a wakeboard. My wife and I have...

    hole in keel

    Went out on the water Saturday tubing and skiing with the family. The boat was in the water for a total of 5hrs, and was taking on water the whole time. When I pulled the boat out, my son noticed a good pee stream coming from the center of the boat. At first, I thought it was just the trailer...

    Muff placement help

    Before I royally screw something up, can ya help a brutha out with the placement of muffs on this 66 Evinrude? I've been filling up a garbage can, but it would be so much faster and easier if I could just put muffs on this ol' gal. I'm new at all this boat stuff, so I appreciate the help. Is...

    1966 Evinrude 100 low speed stutter

    I've had the boat for only 2wks now, and have had it out about 5-6 times. Today, something new happened. After we had been tubing and skiing for a few hours, the motor developed a low speed stutter and would die when trying to throttle up. It almost acted as if it were loading up. I leaned...

    Can't find a prop anywhere

    I have a 1966 Starcraft Holiday 18ft, with the original Evinrude Starflite 100-s o/b. I'm trying to re-prop this combination because I seem to be over-propped. I've run a best of 29.7mph verified by GPS, but WOT is at 4700rpm. This is with 2 adults, 2 kids, roughly 10gal of fuel, and 2200-ish...

    Hard pull to the right @ WOT

    On our maiden voyage under my stellar captain skills, I noticed that at WOT there was an incredible pull to the right. So much so, that if I let go of the wheel, we'd be thrown overboard and be dog-paddling back to the dock. The dude I just got the boat from had installed new steering cables...

    1966 100-s tach connection

    Tach does not appear to be functioning at all, so I would like to troubleshoot from the engine forward. Where is the connection for the tach signal on the engine?

    New Starcraft.......only 45yrs old!

    Well, I did. I finally got a boat to scoot the family around. I traded my 1986 Suzuki GS450 for a 1966 Holiday. After a week of breakdowns (steering cable) and bad schedules, we were finally able to meet at the dock. With an original Evinrude 100-s, the boat only managed 25mph with two...

    1969 Evinrude 100 o/b

    Looking for information on this outboard, and can't find much. Wondering if anyone of you fine folks might have a brochure, owner's manual, or any type of technical info on it. I'm considering the purchase of a boat with this motor on it, but want to know what exactly I'm looking at before I...

    Who pulls a skier with their Holiday?

    New to the site and I'm trying to get some info on a boat that I'm considering. It is a 1969 Holiday, without the walkthrough dash. This boat is powered by the original Evinrude 100 o/b. I know that I'll have plenty of power, but I'm concerned about attaching floatables on the transom. The...

    Starcraft model identification

    I've been talking to this guy about his boat and we are considering a trade for my motorcycle. Problem is, I can't figure out what model of boat this is. It looks like a Starcraft Jupiter, but I was under the impression that they were only made in a 16ft model, with 80hp limit. I've seen this...
