Engine Power

'Kasper' - The Boston Whaler
Well after what seemed like forever, the new engine for my project boat has arrived. The Horizon Tacoma was late and our containers were some of the last to off load, so I had to wait until Saturday to pickup the beauty.
I ordered this motor for a variety of reasons. The company I ordered it from is based in Waterford Connecticut. Outboard Exchange, LLC has been rebuilding, refurbishing, servicing and selling outboards forever.
I had several options when it came to the engine I wanted. Evinrude, Mercury, Yamaha are the three they specialize in.
However, since I have an Evinrude and a Johnson v-4 88 SPL – I chose to have them send me an Evinrude that would bolt up to the OMC controls I already have installed on the boat.
It’s been six days since I installed the motor. I have had no problems at all with it. It fired right up, purred like a kitten and winked at me, like a taunt to take her out on the water to give her a test run. – Which is what I did.

Got something to say?
Dan, I love the look and function of the new site. The fact you make it happen yourself and don’t template it like the rest of us makes it even more special. Love the idea of your next trek, that will be every bit as rewarding as Sweden I’m sure. Good to see you posting!
I’m glad you like it Steve. I’ve been working on it off and on for three months. I think I have a design that I can maintain for a while. Well until I delete everything again.
