I wish my boat would take this outboard...

This thing looks wild,and looks like a shortshaft so it'd fit my boat if it didn't sink it...<br /><br />Sometimes I curse my max 85hp rating.<br /><br /> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4551319680&fromMakeTrack=true

That is a wild looking TOP for sure.<br />Man can you imagine the noise as your sneaking up on your favorite fishing spot?<br /><br />Get the ear plugs out is all I can say cause it sure would be loud with them 6 straight pipes coming out of the cowl like that.

Thats just given me a great idea for my little JW21. A couple bits of 2" dairy pipe and a bit of bodging.<br />I wonder if i'll be allowed to use it on the river.

Be careful what you wish for. Owning it and "feeding" it are two entirely different stories.

Just count on-LOTS! Not to mention the constant "fiddling" with it to keep it in tip top form.

I saw a 2.5L Merc 225Hp race motor for sale too and was realy really wanting it as it weghed 360 Lbs and only a hundered more than my 85. <br /><br />That would have been the fastest Bayliner ever!<br /><br />Wonder if they would have ever caught me or would the boat have sunk?<br /><br />No the boat could have held it but would the transom be OK even though I have beefed it up a bit? <br />NO!

Thing is, £1500 isn't expensive for a 200hp over here either.<br /><br />I wonder if it'd go any better with a set of expansion pipes on it too?
