Beautiful work. The early 2000 yamahas are fantastic motors, but I think you're going to love that EFI Suzuki! I'm in your neck of the woods and I'll be sure to wave if I see you out on the water. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

Just curious, Zum, why so intent on running with the outboard raised as much as possible? I'm not criticizing, I wish I could run with mine up higher. I'm on my second prop this duck season. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

This is not my boat or ad, but I thought someone on this site might be interested. Starcraft 22 for 300$ in Salem, Oregon. https://salem.craigslist.org/boa/d/salem-22-starcraft/7169407183.html

How do outboards of the same HP rating perform when one is a detuned large engine with more displacement vs a smaller engine that is tuned to maximize it's output? All other factors being equal, will a 30HP outboard with 550cc perform like a 30HP outboard with 750cc? If not, how will performance...

I'm looking to move my fuel tank forward and store it under the bow deck in a 2000 Smokercraft Lodge. The access hatch on the deck isn't large enough to fit the tank. Does anyone know of a commercially made hatch that would fit such a tank. Tank dimensions are 21.5"L X 14.24"W X 10"T. Here's a...
