I am looking at a boat with a 88 150 evinrude on it and i do not know much about outboards especially omcs. I wrench on deisels and cars for a living amd have had snowmobiles my whole life. I grew up with boats when i was a kid but never owned anything this big. The motor was rebuilt prior to my freind purchasing it last year and has run great for him this far. The oil injection has been deleted and gas is mixed, which i have no problem with. The guy who my freind bought it from said that hethinks there may have been some carb and ignition tuning done but did not know the specifics.
So, my questions are:
Just so i know what i have, what Was common to do to these motors? What should i look for as far as mods?
what displacement is it? What years do parts interchange with?
What is the difference between the 150,175,200? If i want to upgrade performance is it as sim as swapping bigger carbs on or another part from one of the bigger motors?
Also, it does not have the correct cowl, is an 88 150 an 88 150 or is there a standard 150 and a higher performance 150?
