I'd be really careful about putting anything on over 85hp... not sure I would want to pay that fine if you ever get inspected. I know my 79 16' SS has the rating stamped at 85hp max. I figure it's probably the same for yours.

And that's a good point. To tell you the truth, I was not aware of fines. I thought it was just about the structure Of the boat. It makes sense that it would be against the law to over power a boat.

64 - thanks for the info. So 76 and up it is! I would love a newer motor and I will keep looking but pricing is putting me in the older category.

64 - I was on the StarCraft map and see you are near K-Zoo. The old Chief was from Niles. I loved the boat but too many issues and way too big for me to tackle by myself. Ever since I drove over the St. Joseph River, I have wanted to take a ride down it.

anders, I've crossed over the St Joe maybe a couple thousand times, never had a boat on it but I hope to change that soon with my Lone Star.

It looks great in some places and others not so sure.

Don't know if you would be interested in that or not. :noidea:

As nice as $150 sounds, I'm hesitant on Chryslers.

 

[64osby]

That is the way I feel too. There are a few here on the site that love them.

Chryslers are good motors. They just have been out of production for a long time. Our 75hp is a good strong runner, and is pretty easy to work on. I do understand the hesitation from some, but I'd buy that in a heartbeat. If it was closer.

 

[anderso8623]

in a perfect world, I'd rather spend a little more and get a newer motor. Preferably in the late 90s and up. However, I am not apposed to an older John/Rude for the right price.

 

[anderso8623]

What are your thoughts on a 2003 90hp johnson? are they good on gas? I assume it's a 2 stroke. Any info would be great.

 

[jbcurt00]

Probably a nice motor....

 

[64osby]

I would get the model number and post it over in the Johnnyrude forum.

Lots of good info over there.

I have read the 1st generation of electronic controlled motors were glitchy and expensive to fix.
