Got Outboard Motor!
|
|
I wanted the boat to be reliable, safe and easy to maintain. That meant a newer power plant than the old '67 Evinrude I sold. I decided on a rebuilt outboard because they are much less expensive than a new outboard, and you get a warranty and know exactly what you are buying compared to a used outboard off E-bay.
I chose to use a Johnson/Evinrude 40 or 50 hp twin because they have a fabulous reputation, parts are inexpensive, they are plentiful and are the right hp for this boat. A plus is that it weighs about 120lbs less than the 67 evinrude 60hp that came on the boat.
I decided to buy from BlackBird rebuilders (1outboard.com). They deal mostly with marinas supplying them with quality rebuilds to re-power trade-in boats that will be re-sold. This motor is a complete rebuild 1993 Evinrude 40hp with new pistons & rings .20 over, new bearings, seals, water pump, sonically cleaned and rebuilt carbs, disassembled and inspected lower unit with new seals, pressure tested, and 1 year warrentee.
Blackbird also supplied the 1970 era control box and cables, as well as a good VRO oil tank. This package is the single most expensive part of this project at about $2400.
