repower of 1972 22-2

[skinnywater]

I have a 1978 19'6" that has a 175hp Mariner. My top speed on the GPS with one person on the boat is 55mph. On the Coast Guard plate it recommends nothing over 180hp.
I hope this helps.

I second Warts Brownspoint comment.  I ordered some stuff for my new 4 strk Johnson from them (filters, sparkplugs, etc) Even stuff that is not so regular, they shipped next day.

So Blues, how is the new motor?  Did you get everything ironed out?  How does it run on your boat?  How's the extra weight of the 4 stroke affect the boat?

Well, I wish I could tell you, but the motor isn't on the boat yet. I am waiting on a couple of parts to finish it and I will let you guys know as soon as it is on. I am strssing to finish the boat within a month.

You gotta be Jones'n.  You've had that motor for a while now.  I remember you were having some rigging parts issues or something.  Keep looking toward the sea....

Tell me about it, I actually received a mail this morning that they have my two props! After literally 3 months!!! Well I want to see them first. In the meantime I have bought another prop, which just arrived, now waiting for the prop nut and washers. Man will I be glad when this is over.

I have a 200 Mercury 2-stroke on my 22-2CCP.  It runs dead-on 40 MPH at 5300 RPM with a 19 pitch stainless prop.  I hope this helps...

Sounds like you need to send Guido and Da Boyz over to pick up the props.  :twisted:   This has gone on long enough.

You will not believe this one, received a mail this morning,props will be sent today. However I asked them when I will receive my warranty papers, they anwered that now suddenly they are not allowed to register anymore and I will need to go through my local dealer....... :evil:  :evil: I will make a new post warning everybody else, I have nothing to lose anymore anyway...
