[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 477093, member: 7076"] Yep, that was me :D The mix has changed, but the affliction remains the same. I've got a nice '88 Evinrude 88 Special planned for this boat. It's even got a nice custom painted cover to go with it: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20200828_111110.jpg"]106908._xfImport[/ATTACH] I've managed to move most of the others I had on to better families :) I still have the '77 70hp that needs a new timer installed, and I picked up a nice 4 stroke electric start 9.9 for a job I did for a friend. The 85hp Force on the rack is what came with the boat, it's a running motor, but I don't want to deal with the hassle of parts in the future.
