[QUOTE="River Rider, post: 235013, member: 2087"] Well after a long wait and balancing the check book after christmas and an engagement ring I get to work on my boat. The first and foremost plan was to upgrade the motor. Not so much a bigger horse power, but a newer bigger block version. With advice from Lil' Blue Rude I searched around for a good used outboard, finally landing on a guy who traded out some work with me for it. It is an 1989 70 horse that ran perfectly when we tested it. The only down fall was when I checked the compression the top cylinder was a little week. So I have sinced pulled the head and found there was some light scarring and I will have to pull the cylinders and get them bored. I have never done this and have some help lined out to help but I will update as I go along. The motor is still attached to the bass boat it came with but that gave me the ability to not leave my boat out of comission while I work on this other motor. Pictures below are of the donor boat and some of the block and the initial tear down. [/QUOTE]
