Did you have a good time in texas?

[Goldfish]

Joined that group and just by watching what they do learned how to get the speed of my boat to increase by about 7 or 8 miles per hour and I'm still working on it. Little shit like jacking up the engine a couple inches higher. If I switch props I bet I can hit 28mph with a 15 horse engine. I'm up to 24 now.

Your boat with the 15hp? Tell me the ways of the wise to get my 9.9 to push my boat back on plane again please!

How much you weigh goldfish? That might be what is slowing you up.
If you're less than 200 maybe I can help. 24 is as fast as it can go theoretically with the prop I have so I doubt I get any more out of it. 11 pitch prop. 12 would be getting where it takes a long way to get to top speed.

You want that cavitation plate on the engine to be roughly even with the bottom of the boat. I can convert your engine to 15 too. I'd sell you the part. One part. Bolt it on and it's a 15. (the carb)

Kid on ooser outlaws has his 8 horse mercury up to 17.

I weigh a staggering 135lbs. When I first got the setup, I could get on plane with me and my 280lb buddy up front. Now I'm barely getting just me in an empty boat up.

How much you want for that carb?

[aunt betty]

$89.95 + shipping and handling? (negotiable) I'll take it apart, clean it, and put it back together too.
Will put it on my motor and make sure it's good to go.
Don't get in a big hurry but it is "bolting on 5 horsepower".

I suspect you need to tune up your engine too. I'd bet the points need some love or something if you're losing power the way you described. I have points and a lot of parts you need so keep in touch.

[Goldfish]

I adjusted the points last summer, and have went thru my carb a few times over the years. I tested the compression and it seemed good, but I guess you're supposed to check it when the engine is hot?

I could use a good new prop too. This one of getting kinda old and wore down.

I might take you up on that carb. Should work.

[Goldfish]

Although I don't think I cleaned the points now that I think about it. Hmmm

You have any idea how many junked evinrudes I have?
That's just one of them.
Pick a carb.

How many you need? Lol

My aunt has an outboard junkyard if I need stuff, but she has to make a living so her prices aren't always the best I might be able to find.

[aunt betty]

You want to argue about the price of a boat engine part? I found a cheap one for you on Ebay but it's for a 1956 engine.
If it was easy to find the part you seek you'd already have it.
How about I sell you an entire 15-horse engine with electric start for $795? (never seen salt water)

[Goldfish]

Na. I'd maybe buy just the carb, but don't need nor want another motor.

[Ajverret]

new boat is ordered

[Ajverret]

And we just bought the wife a new 4runner

[Olly]

Big spender!

Good credit [WINKING FACE]

[aunt betty]

Bought 50 bee boxes for $6 a piece. Then bought the frames and foundations. 500 times ~ $1.75/each
This honeybee stuff ain't cheap.

Pay attention. I spent $1200 on bee hive supplies. It's a buzz.
You in? It's like Vegas...you can double your money easily. lool

Could be a beeswax baron.

[aunt betty]

All the bees wax I get gets melted and painted onto the plastic foundations. Give them the wax back and they make combs hasty quick. Right now honey combs are what I really need and they're precious once you got them drawn out by the bees. I recycle every bit of wax I get.

[aunt betty]

The capped part is honey. Those combs were cut out of someone's house. I charge money for doing bee removals and get to keep the bees, honey, and the combs. It's sort of a mess. Rubber band the combs into the frames and as you can see, the bees fix it. Lower left corner of the top frame is drone cells. (male bees)

Ha. Nowhere near a good enough deal to go all the way to Springfield

[aunt betty]

Maybe you'd like to go to Rockford and pay $2000+ for a newer one.
