    Viper with V6

    Hi ,thanks for the input .Its kind of an old thread and I already bought an engine . I went with a low hr 88 2.4 200 Mariner . Went back and forth a lot between that a 2.0 and a 2.5. The 2.4 with chrome bores weighs 20# less than a 2.0 plus more hp and they are supposedly very reliable. As for...

    Viper with V6

    I will do some research to pick out the right years of engines . What year is yours and how many hp ? Did you get it new ? Thanks for the advice , just don't want to end up with something I'm not happy with.

    Older Merc V6's

    I know , been kind of a wheeler /dealer all my life and you never know what you will get when its used. Then if you get it rebuilt, if they do a good job???? Would really like to get a good engine and rebuild it myself (and hopefully not make a mistake).

    Viper with V6

    Guess I'm asking about the ones that are lighter (under 350#) than the new ones . I have been reading stuff online and there seems to be issues with older ignition systems ? You have a v6 don't you ? Yeah I'm impressed with Reimer ???? They need an amazing goalie .

    Viper with V6

    Hey Chris. So what years are you talking about and do you know how much they weigh ? The idea of an older motor is kind cool ,just worried about the reliabily factor ? How about those Leafs ! Mike

    Older Merc V6's

    Thanks , its that ( pretty reliable ) that gets me .I guess I will have to do some more research on the weights, any mechanical issues ,inherent problems with specific years and take it from there. New is very expensive your right .

    Viper with V6

    Thanks ,I like the idea of an older engine too . Plus on a smaller boat like this every pound counts. Just that reliabily thing (old electrical systems) seems to dog me .

    Older Merc V6's

    So how reliable are the older/lighter Mrec V6's ? Can they be rebuilt to as good as new reliabilty ? Or were they that good as new ?

    Viper with V6

    The older V6 Mercs seem to be lighter to put on my rebuilt Hydrostream Viper but I want light but also total reliability .Go with heavier new,rebuilt old ......????????

    Horsepower ratings ?

    In what year did horsepower ratings change from taken at the crank to taken at the propeller ? How much of a percentage difference did it make ? ATVGUY

    Toronto Maple Leaf Shakeup!

    Unless its a top 5 pick is it really worth getting rid of Kaberle. Maybe a good forward and a first round pick.Look how many first rounders never work out. Looks like whatever happens it will be in the next few weeks. GO LEAFS GO !!!! ATVGUY

    Toronto Maple Leaf Shakeup!

    I can't believe the new Leafs either . To bad Calgary can't say the same thing about what a great trade they made and haven't checked how Toskala/Blake are doing but I could probably guess. GO LEAFS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATVGUY

    Pop up cleats vs fixed

    I've never used them before and your points are valid.The ease of hooking them up is a very good point .The last thing you need when parking the boat is fiddling with the cleats and if there are waves it would even be harder. So if they don't pop up like they are suppose to and the boat is...

    Toronto Maple Leaf Shakeup!

    You're right about Kessel and the other teams know it too.They just have to cover him and they know he won't pass. That game was so exciting just too bad they dropped the ball in the last few minutes.I know tonites game will be a good one and with Giggy in net they will win . ATVGUY
