So, we spent two wks in Fla and towed a trailer down looking for motors and a bracket.
Hit the Dania flea market too but only scored a new set of fenders for the trailer after all that digging
(Dania was a waste!)
Probably draw up plans have a bracket built at a local fab shop. Justintocars has a hookup
On motors, our 4 yr old chocolate lab got an infection in one of his legs and that wiped out 1/2 the kitty for the motors.
Plan now is to stay on my buddy that I sold my '98 3.0 liter 250 HP Ocean Pros to until he digs them out of his barn. They had 250 hrs on them, all orig, when I sold them to him 5 yrs ago and have been untouched.
I have one 3.3 liter, 300 HP hot rod powerhead I already built and can do a second and would be a direct replacement for the stockers. As in, add on 100 hp's.
E-tecs would be plug and play too, for in the future. Harnesses...., everything.
And they are getting cheap. Maybe a pair of 300's in a yr.
Weather still sucks here in Ohio and new shop hasnt been started yet but hoping late this wk.

I had never had 2 Strokes until I bought my 30 Concept. It's rigged with 225 Optis. I was blown away by the torque they have. I am a believer now. I love my 2 strokes and now that I have switched from merc's Opti oil to Penzoil XLF, I don't mind buying the oil for it. Plus winterizing is a breeze.
