I talked to my engin builder today and he said my moter is now done =D> He runit in the tank today for 20 minutes and itis sounding good from what he said :mrgreen: now i need to take off the 20 jet and raise up the transome to 27 inch and install the 40 johnson. No tiller handle was found and I called local salvage yards for outboards and online salvage yards with no luck.I was wanting factory tiller setup over the console setup but now a special tiller handle must now be fabbed up for steering and a remote controll box will be used for throttle and gear shift :lol: I am still thinking about the 1648 Alumacraft over my 1448 but if i gets that I will be useing it with a remote steel and console as itis a bigger boat and one can get away with it that way :mrgreen:
