HAHA its the end of winter, dont worry this should be the most tan ive ever been in my life after this summer! thank you, shes about 95% done and first test run went without any issues. Time to button up all the rest of it and that sucker polished to enjoy the summer!

She's in the water! Thank you all for your patience! :driving: https://www.facebook.com/508792430/videos/10159255805452431/ https://www.facebook.com/508792430/videos/10159270975122431/

I found some spare props for a decent price. Not sure if props are something i should have spare of or if they are a good idea to purchase to play around with size and pitch. My knowledge of props is very little. i Currently have 3 blade clever style 19 spline 15x24" P L&R The other two sets...

Looks as if the plate that it would be stamped on is missing on the top right corner or the transom. I have the title though, says its an 88.

The boat is an 89 I believe. I don't have the engine serials handy but previously I did and that's how i found the mercruiser part diagram showing the tail pipes with the mufflers. https://www.crowleymarine.com/mercury-outboard/949.cfm I believe that is the link and the engine serial number...

34 and 1/8 center to center. Also the manifold doesn't cross over center. It looks as if there may be 1 inch between the manifolds when the other engine is in. The muffler pipe has got to go though, that crosses over center. I now have a reason to have loud asshole guy exhaust :cheers2:

The part number I read on the original tail pipes is 844418-A1. In doing some research these look to be a bravo tailpipe part number as well? This website shows the different exhaust pipes available during this time...

You were right about these fitting much better. The only thing i see is they are off center (about an inch). These tails were from the starboard engine and im placing them on the port side. I have no clue if they are off the shelf units but at least I now have the angle i need. I have a feeling...

This boat has been in the family since i was probably 7 or 8 years old. Its so crazy looking back on the posts what i went through to keep this thing in my possession while going through college. Barely able to pay rent and this offshore boat is in the driveway HAHA. For my family this boat...

I prefer the sound of a high idle boat at the docks anyways so I'm sure ill turn mine up there. Ive been told my setup is pretty stout engines/trans/drives should last a while if maintained properly. I'm crazy about fluid changes and maintenance which is a good thing. Yes, i tried to lay the...

Hard to say what exactly I need at this point but its been confirmed that the two sets I have are for a Bravo drive setup. I need to go take measurements. Sounds like a long shot that someone would need what i have and I need what they have... as my boat is kinda an odd ball unit :huh:

Jim, I have been trying to read and learn all about reversion. I believe I get the concept. I read about these 540 engines and they do say you need to idle them no lower than 750rpm or they will start to suck water in. With the velvet drive transmissions I should be able to idle them a bit...

Im thinking i can cut on the second weld to the right in this photo, put that 45 on there and reweld that straight part to the end of the 45 that would put me pretty close. Does that make sense in writing or should i draw on the photo? haha
