[QUOTE="WhopperPlopper, post: 472163, member: 25503"] Picked up a 1983 Lowe Stinger Pro, running 35hp 'Rude, and functional trailer. I've done a few jon to bass boat conversions where I had to fabricate a lot of the decking or hatches for storage so I feel this will be fairly straight forward. I am glad the motor would turn over easily and start right up but I still need to recheck the compression on "tried and true" compression gauge as mine is new and is reading 70psi on both cylinders. This is the lowest compression on a motor I've owned but it seems to be running great. I've owned an identical 35 hp 'Rude but cannot remember what the compression was. Chime in on what you all think. The archives for 1983 were unavailable but here is the 1984 stinger pro which is identical to the one I picked up. I'll add a picture later of what she looked like when I got her [/QUOTE]
