    need suggestion on replacing an engine

    i am going to repower my skeeter bass boat.the 115 hp on it now is just wore out and i would like to have more power.the rating on this boat is 140 hp. not many mfg. are making a 140 hp anymore.any information or suggestions on the 130,135,and 140 hp would be greatly appreciated.i want to stay away from the four strokes if i can.they are a heavier engine. this boat would handle a 150 hp but i cant find anyone who will install one because of the horsepower rating.if you know anyone that will let me know the dealers name. thanks for your help

    RE: need suggestion on replacing an engine

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jul-20-06 AT 01:26AM (EST)[/font][p]you should see if you can find a merc 135 v6.it's the same block as the 150 and many will run comparable speed to the 150..
    on the other hand find a 150 yamma and hang it yourself all your controls will match up and only takes about 2 hours if you take your time.i just did a yamma to merc switch in about 3 hours.if you fish any big tourneys you most time can't go over the rating next thing is your insurance

    check with M&C Outboards in Shepherdsville,,I think I saw what ya needed on there motor boat. Plus if ya want one new they`ll give ya a good price. I`ll put any motor you want on that boat.
