    Scott-mccullough outboard

    i've heard good things about the Scott-mccullough, out boards supposedly they were well enginered. some ran on 100to 1 ratio gas oil mix. I burned up one of their 7.5 motors, when the water pump stopped working. Finding parts for them can be a headache, and finding someone who will work on them...

    74 Mx 16 For Sale

    I might ebay this boat I'm asking $500 for it, I can go a little less other wise I'm going to put it on ebay and let it go to the highest bidder. I just thought I'd let you guys get a look at it first, and not have to deal with ebay and the listing fees.

    Prop for MX14 / cobra with 115 merc inline

    The merc is a 82 or so I'm led to believe by the serial number. I've got two different tachs for it but neither of them are installed, one is the mercury racing tach that was in the boat the other is new teleflex universal tach that I was going to put on my old mx-16 prior to buying the cobra...

    Prop for MX14 / cobra with 115 merc inline

    I removed the jack plate over the weekend and the boat ran much better, although it it still has to be trimmed all the way in. Yesterday I ordered a 22p stainless Quicksilver prop at one of the local marinas. 362 for a prop seemed a ok price. I hope it works

    Prop for MX14 / cobra with 115 merc inline

    What type of prop would you run, i've been told to get either a 21p or 23p for this setup. I have run the boat with 19p aluminum up to around 2/3s throttle, after doing so I noticed that the prop no longer had any paint on it and the blades were warping. So I figure I need some sort of stainless...

    74 Mx 16 For Sale

    I'm asking $500 I think $500 is a fair price for a boat that needs retoration(new floor Possibly transom). A offer of $150 is kinda lowball, I know of a marina in toledo that will give me $200 for it without even seeing it.
