Well I have the old 235 seahorse that was on my boat when I bought it and thought I would get it running again as a winter project. The previous owner pulled the powerhead and said it needed new exhaust tubes. I haven't dug into it yet but I figured I would first check compression. Motor hasn't been run in 4 years so I figured some oil in the spark plug hole and throw a battery on the starter and try to turn her over, worth a try? Also how would this motor compare power wise to the 1991 150hp johnson currently on our boat? I mean if this 235 has good compression and the exhaust is repairable I would think that 235 would push my boat better than the 150. I am currently using the prop off the 235 on my 150 and the motor pulls 5200 at 31mph. I would like to get a little more speed out of the boat but right now it could pull a house.
Few specs on the boat:
~4000 lbs. with gear and people
23' Pro Line w/a
Thanks,
Chas
