Repower for 1980 Whaler 15'. Suggestions?

[Michael Vezzosi]

Briguy, you may be correct. Removed outboard to retire old dog only to find out exhaust system was 80% clogged inside base of powerhead and leg. Did not even attempt to uncover water jacket. Sold for $400 to friend who refurbishes old, OLD outboards. Getting ready to order '05 Yam. 60 4-stroke with EFI this year. Refurbing entire '77 Whaler hopefully in time for a Rendevous at Bounces Pass/ Beercan Island? Looking forward to dinner at the Bridge Tender. Bring the Seacraft! I know you guys did one in this area a few years ago and found out too late. Would love to come down with the MA. Oh yeah, Presidents weekend. Later, Vezo, Part II.
