[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 307206, member: 9587"] She runs real nice! Always starts first or second pull when cold. Pushes the boat to about 25 mph and is surprisingly light at 135 lbs. The boat is rated for 30 hp, but in later years the OMC 35 was rated as a 30 when they started measuring from the prop instead of the crank. So technically it should be ok! With less weight at the front of the boat and the driver's position further back I suspect it will plane better and my top speed might climb a bit. I bought a carb rebuild kit a while back and I will use it if I can find the dang thing... lol. Doesn't really need it but after spending this much time on the rest of the boat it would be silly not to spend an hour or two on the motor. It also needs the upper crank shaft seal replaced. It leaks oily residue when running. Hopefully it isn't a worn bearing but we'll see once I get the flywheel off and take a look. My gut tells me it's fine but I can be a bit paranoid about these things. [/QUOTE]
