Hey Kracker, let us more know about this stuff. I will be putting a new floor in my sons V soon!

Lookin good Kracker! That console really gives that custom look! You also have EXCELLENT taste in beer my friend, nothin' beats an ice cold Fatty Natty!!

What Spare said....and don't run that motor at high RPMs if its not running right. If its a carb issue, you can lean out a cylinder and pop that powerhead.

Woah, that's an interesting project!! Most people go from I/O to bracket outboard......this was total opposite with straight inboard. One of my favorite boats I've owned was a straight inboard Mako! Def check stringers while its opened up. Also check those motor mounts! I'm watching this...

You are exactly right...gave mine a facelift!! 135 Opti?? Hell no, 2.4 200!! before: after:

Got a single tower of power going on my sons V that we are working on.....maybe when he gets a little older we will hang 2 on the back!

Yes, I sure do....ask away! -Mike

Thanks! I am going to need some supplies to finish up my sons boat and I remember you praising your supplier! I will check them out!

WOAH!! Man that is nice looking!! Hey where do you get your resin and glass supplies??

I should call them and see what the deal is...its prob a late 80's CC that I saw

No, neither the console I bought or the V20 I saw had orange stripping

Thanks for the invite Kracker!! Actually I snuck out of the office for a couple hours today and ran down there. Found a nice solid one with doors for $100!! Side note: They had a nice late model V20 center console there. Needed cleaning and repower. Saw it on my way out and didnt ask them...

I FEEL YOUR PAIN KRACKER!!! My sons project V is just waiting under a tarp for some decent weather. She might go in the garge this weekend so we can get this project going again. Really need to find a console. Gonna hit budget boats one day this week. I called them, they said they had a few...

Yep, its a sleeper, I changed to a new style cowl and kept the 135 decals!!

Old Skool carbed Black Max 2.4 200......I have a great friend who races outboards and loves these things. He did a rebuild on it for me....he wanted to get crazy, but I had a budget to stick to. I REALLY wish it was the 3.0 250 block!!

I would say no problem with a slick bottom. My 200 Merc is making a little over 200HP, no bottom paint, fastest I have seen on GPS is 53 mph. So 280 HP out of same motor, hell yeah!

Hey Kracker, we got about the same....wish it was a little more(and then melt by Monday)!! Had a ball last night....loaded up a cooler and went riding on my '56 Allis Chalmers!!

Pic from a couple hours ago in Gloucester.....couple inches now!! I was out cruising in my old Grand Wagoneer

That engine is great...it would be worth it to rebuild if block is good! I have the same layout in my '79, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOAT!!

WELCOME!!! I got here the same way you did....been over on ClassicMako for years!!
