I wish I would have started my thread in the Starcraft Forum, but I will keep you updated. Is there anyway to move my original thread to here?
Finally picked up the new motor. It's a 120, so I lost 20hp, but I can live with that. I got the motor which was rebuilt and I was told has no hours on it since the rebuild. The guy I bought it from bought a boat just for the outdrive, then he took this motor out and sold it to me. The motor looked great, but it was on a cart and we could not run it. I got it for $300 and it included trim cylinders, which I needed because mine are cracked, and an exhaust tube(not sure if that is was it is called, it's the tube that the shudder valve is in). I figured that the tube and cylinders would be worth it even if the motor didn't run. We started the motor swap 7am on Saturday and had everything ready to go by 2pm. The motor fired right up on the first attempt and sounded and ran great! We got done so early we decided to install the new Bimini top that I got on iBoats. The top is a little too tall, but I got it during the cyber Monday liquidation sale and couldn't turn down the opportunity!
