Anybody need one, I'll hook you up for a reaalllllll good price.
It's a good thing I've got my good looks and movie star hair to see me through this rough patch. If I was running around looking like G, or Sat, or Steve, or BRM, or Rees, or pretty much any of y'all, I don't think I could take it.

Just unhook another spark plug and run it as a 90 HP.:biggrin
Run it??!!!!!!!!!:Rofl He done run the @#$$ out of it!!!!!!!!!!:Rofl
I was trying to be nice and you started it monkey boy!!! Hope you get her going!!!
Told you bananas were bad luck Monkey boy!! Hate to hear what happened... Time to fork over the money for that SHO..
Sure hated to hear about it. your like a cat though, I know you will end up landing on your feet.
Y'all put your ears on for me a motor. This one is done. That and send money. Preferably large denominations. For those that donate more than $1,000, I will write your name on the hull with a sharpie. Them wraps is too high dolla. $2,000 or more and ill use big letters and let you pick the color.

What size motor ya need ugly? I got a 9.9 in the shop with yo name on it!!!
Dang. I wish I would have known. This motor was recently up for sale or trade. 225 turned 275 hp race motor. EFI removed for more awesome carbs, flywheel lightened, exhaust ported through the midsection (for extra race volume), heads shaved, balanced and blueprinted... Sportmaster lower unit! Custom prop! All the extra parts were removed. I think it found a home, though.

but for real I do have a good used 150. 1996 but not ran a ton
hate to hear that WB
You need to buy that motor from MO. That would be a deal to sit in on. Banker to Banker negotiations. Seriously that would be a good motor for your boat.
Not trying to kill Mo's sale but it wont push it, too much boat for the 150 loaded the way we load em. WBs boat and bigger and heavier than mine and going to the 200 made a heck of a difference in mine.
Maybe if he slowed down he wouldn't have these motor problems?:dono
I aced my sales classes in college BTW. Reprop with a 4 blade, give up some top end for torque, and still come out cheaper than fixing yours.
But really, going from a 225 to a 150 would be like goin from a mustang to a pinto. Just letting you know it was out there
Mo, ifn you sho him a video of it throwing a rooster tail 200 foot long he would be all over it!!!!!Quote:

I'm either sticking with a 225, or going to a 250. Depends on the motor I'm able to find.
Windknit, that's a beast of a motor, but those modded up jobs are better suites for a race hull, not a cruiser like mine.
If money was no object, I'd go with a straight 4 stroke Yammy. I'd gladly give up 5 years of go fast for 10 years of reliably and fuel economy. Trouble is, ya just can't find em with 20" mids unless you go new. Looks like I'll probably stick with a merc Opti or pro xs unless I find an hpdi I just can't live without and at a price where I could swing the cost of controls tank and prop.
Tightwad .
Wannabe,
I dont know if you are interested but a guy has an 04 225 Optimax for sale posted in the classifieds over on the Bullnettle news forum. Just thought I would let you know....
Always remember, it doesn't cost more to go first class, just puts you further behind.......
Good luck on ur quest...
Bassboat Central and Scream and Fly both have motors on the regular. You can sometimes find good deals on either.
The best option may be to find a guide in the Merc Pro Program. Some of those dudes have to buy a motor every year, so they wind up selling the old motor with 500 hours on it or so.
Well there goes that one fish :)
Surely there is a machine shop that can sleeve and hone your motor!I would think it would be a lot cheaper than a new motor!Here is a website that can repair a cracked cylinder. You may find one closeby that can do the same thing.You might call them and see if they can recommend a place!http://www.actionoutboard.com/index2.html
I think he already talked with Don Weed--so my guess is the engine is TOAST--I know i'd be sick
Imma part it. Don't have the guts to stomach a rebuild.

Good looking 225 E-Tec on jackson,ms craigslist under boats.It ain't no Merc but it should catch one fish.
Phooey on a Etec. I've just read too much about em. Thanks for keeping an eye out for me though.
Wannabe...
Why not pull the plug wire on the opposite side might run smoother and still have enough power., PFFFFFFT
Was just looking at boats on BBC, most every ETEC has had power head, lower unit, computer and one had had all three.Quote:

They ALL blow up.Merc has the Opti-POP ,Yamaha has the SHO-NUF gonna blow and the E-tec with the weak lowers.They are smart enough to make'em last just so long.
