    thump/clunk after a few seconds in gear (1997 115 evinrude)

    Hi everyone, I just bought a boat with a 1997 115 evinrude. The motor runs great, but about 3-5 seconds into throttling forward I feel/hear a thump. It only does it one time (but not every time) after throttle up and then it runs flawlessly. It is an obvious mechanical thump that feels like...

    Small boat, big engine

    I have a 16' fiberglass boat (around 1200 pounds). It is rated for 115 hp. I can get a 200hp motor for it (because is cheap and close to home). I'm not planning to use it at full power and can use a jack plate to get it higher on the transom. I'm not concerned about damaging my current boat...
