That thing looks sweet! Great job.

boat is looking great. what did you end up using for your starter wires? i remember my first boat... 1432 polarcraft... after 3 years it was way to crowded with just me in it lol.

A new set of points and condensers would be in order now that you have the flywheel off. They are located under a cover around the crank. They can be the cause of your no start issue.

man i am really lovin your build. have the same lowe hull but with two bench seats. (2nd one removed by po) i have had the exact same switch panel in mine now for 8 years and have never had a lick of trouble. keep up the good work.

good looking boat. looking forward to seeing it all done.

hull design reminds me of the old green Nordic era crestliners heavy but tough boats.

did you ever buy this engine?

60hp power head, on a jet is equivalent to a 40hp outboard. either it was a dealer conversion, a rebuild using a donor power head, or the factory got sloppy with the mod/serial# tag. most likely dealer conversion.

you should be able to adjust your mixture for the elevation changes with a knob right by the choke and kill button. I had a 64 johnson/evinrude 18 hp. great motors. as mentioned most parts are avail from dealer.

I had the same setup on my first boat. 18hp johnson on a 14" jon. i ran the 9 1/4x11 and switched back to a 9x10. see if your local evinrude dealer will let you use a test prop or an inductive tach and see what rpm' s your engine is turning. it may be that the prop is not allowing the engine...
