Hey fellas,
Long time, no see. Still running my 16' rhino with 4 stroke 60/40. I love the motor but with a tunnel cut in, .190 gauge bottom, UHMW on the bottom, bait tank and live well (30-40 gallons) and two people we are wanting more throttle.
Anyways, I came across a 1993 90/65 Johnson factory jet for $750. The powerhead is locked up but that doesnt matter to me. These blocks are all over the place. I was just wondering what you guys thought about this platform? This motor is framed on a 99.6 cubic inch block. Only thing I am leary about is it is a crossflow motor. I haven't fooled with many crossflows. I know they idle well, drink lots of gas, and dont have the upper end that the loopers do. Would that stop you from buying one?
Icing on the cake: My uncle has a 1992 Johnson 115 that he wants to take off of his bass boat to turn into a reservoir boat. He told me if I buy him a 24v transom mount trolling motor and two batteries, he will trade me. I would also get him an onboard battery charging system and install it all for him.
Basically, if I made this move, I would have a 115/80 sleeper motor...............
