88' Activator 22 winter project.

[Crackmate]

I just picked up this boat from a guy who was the original owner and it has been sitting in his driveway for 5years. Cant wait to dig in. Any suggestions would be appreciated(set back-motor height-prop).

[Crackmate]

What should i replace this rusted gil bracket with?
The motor will be put to pasture.

[Crackmate]

I run out of Freeport and run by Jones inlet, I like to hang @ short beach sat and sun. Looking forward to checking out Tanner park this summer. For now if i dont sell my Checkmate complete i'll mount the XP200. If I sell it I'd like a 2.5.

That was an old Gil bracket- They dont make them anymore. It's rusted pretty bad and i had to hit it w/ a hammer to get it off the transome.

I offered that guy $2500 for that boat 2 years ago, I had a motor and wanted to package it up for resale. Looks good. Rember, your fuel system will be the most important thing to properly set up. The life of your engine depends on volume and pressure grade and age of fuel. Good Luck...

[PhastBoat]

I got it for $2000.00 and sold the 235 for $600.00:D :D
I got the motor from someone who said he knows you, Kieth from freeport- it was apparently rebuilt by Accurate Marine. Fired it up on the hose the other day :) ;) sounded nice. Couple of more weeks and i'll put it in for some breakin time.

[PIT BULL]

First of all break it in with the Merc Hi perf oil for about the first 5-10 hrs @25:1. Then I would suggest going synthetic. I allways run 93 amacco. Make sure the timing is on the money. Who rigged the motor?

[hydrostreamvulture1]

wut wuz the best speed ya got outta the velocity? also wut prop r ya runnin with it??:confused: :confused:

[PhastBoat]

I rigged it myself. With help from the board. I may need help with the timing, never did it on an outboard.

[PIT BULL]

Get the book, I have it if you need to borrow it. Its for a2.5 but the timing is the samething.
