    70’s Starcraft 14’ Seafarer “By Golly”

    That's awesome job on the restoration, I will only give one piece of advice. I did the same kind of restoration on a Lone Star 14footer, and loved it fished out of it all over and had a great time with family and friends in it and like always you think you need to have more room bigger motor...

    Trim and Tilt

    Well thats where I'm at . I have found some of the old units used and some needs rebuilt . Most of the guys are in the $400 range . So to pick up a new unit for 500 to 600 didn't seem to bad as long as they work well and hold up to the motor abuse . And at the end of the day it's a real PITA ...

    1983 70 HP Evinrude

    I have found a CMC TNT unit that was used , for a fair price and I also found a factory TNT unit for just a little less , if I went to the CMC unit could I still use a jack plate with it ? or will it put the motor to far back ? From my understanding the CMC unit put the motor back about 4 to 6...

    1983 70 HP Evinrude

    So would it be better , to find a factory TNT then add a jack plate or do you really don't get a lot of bang for your buck ,when using a jack plate . I see there is a few guys running them in Florida on the skinney water .

    I was told that a jet wouldn't run on lake because the water not getting forced into the jet opening . Like to get started I know once your moving it shouldn't make a differnce river or lake . So thanks for the reply .

    Lowe 170 Bass Boat

    Well a 115 and a 90 are both V4 motor . So I would assume that they are same powerhead . But does it really matter how the motor weights on the transom ? Cause a 70 hp only weights 230 lbs , and 90 weights about 300lbs . I just don't want to damage the boat .

    Lowe 170 Bass Boat

    Well I guess that was one of my questions , was how to rate the boat and would a 115 weight to much for the transom ? It is an all welded boat . I believe the 115 is V4 motor the same as 90 hp can anybody verify this ?
