So I predict very little getting done the next few days now that I found this site! It is awesome, and have not stopped reading threads all day, only problem is that I have a boat that needs attention in the garage. Here is her story:
Bought a 1975 Baja v 1600 boat on an EZ loader trailer powered by a 1986 110 hp evinrude. Just got married this past weekend and wanted to surprise my wife by taking her out on the river on something besides my fishing boat! Bought boat for 850 and Thought I had a steal until I tested compression and it tested at 91, 89, 89, and 0!!! Pulled cover off and cylinder has scoring and damage to piston and head. Looking for advice on rebuilding such as difficulty , kits, time, worth and also on best deals on used outboards 85 hp - 115 hp. Plan on rebuilding this winter as a project but would like to get this boat some power so we can enjoy this summer.
