Got a free bigtwin 40hp evinrude and thinking of somehow reinforcing the transom of 8 ft hydro and seeing what it will do on a river.
Would like to utilize all the power in the block too, but not sure it's true they shared same blocks.
Thoughts??? Stories???
1500xs on a 15 Ft G.W. Invader, ran just shy of 80 on GPS. Miss that boat !!!
Yamaha 130 on a 13' tunnel @ 83.1mph so far. 30 pitch Mercury Labbed cleaver at 6400rpm (2:1 ratio).

Yeah, It might have been a bit too much. Too heavy anyway. 225 HP 3.0 Merc on the 16 foot Checkmate Enticer. Gave way to another too much motor at 260. Just fine 150 on there now.
