Beware te 70 mph "side step". Make dam sure you're hanging on when it moves sideways on the prop and then digs back in.
My LoPro used to do it at 72. First time will scare the h e l l out of you. |

Steve Just yanked the 130 or 135 chrysler off of it, blew the lower, and it was cheaper to buy a used Merc, got the 200 complete with bobs hydraulic jack, and hynautic cylinder for $1400:drink: |
Just be careful and wear your kill switch lanyard. That's a hell of a lot of motor for just 16' of hull.

They are great boats I am restoring a 14 footer complete with a Bob;s jack plate and a merc 40 hp for my daughter.
I will post pictures when I am done. Just be careful at that speed . RG. |
I had one in '75, 150 H.P. Merc w/p.t. purple flake w/ silver stripe... scary ride if trimmed to high ! Boat weighed app. 775# if I remember right. Good luck with it. "HIGH LIFE"

I made sure he bought the controls with the lanyard, I may add a second one for the passenger. |
