Officially your over powered

You sure that is not a 135?

 

[mickyryan]

For remote-steering boats, the formula is: (stern width in decimal feet x length in decimal feet x 2) – 90 = max. horsepower. doing that i came up with 143.7.72 so i rounded up

more like a 115 with its age probably lol

 

[mickyryan]

eh mercury cheated and took the 3.0 140 marked down to 130 so they could meat 90 % of the boats they wanted to install in lol

 

[mickyryan]

i do worry about weight but i dont think that will be a big issue since it came with a i/0 that weighed around 660 without outdrive,

 

[mickyryan]

so looking at transom i have no clue they must have decided to just glass the cap on back there, i will have to figure out best place to cut off to remove with cap

 

[kcassells]

Nice to have you back working on a boat!

My engine stand , if it held a fully built ls it can hold this

 

[Overhaul]

I have a 50 hp Mercury in an engine stand just like that. It works great when it needs to move a around.
