That's a great looking engine. I had a Johnson Stinger KC13R 4BBL.

Does anyone happen to have a good clear photo of the lower unit of a Super Strangler or Stinger GP they could post?

I was looking for a Super Strangler. powerbout, what motor is it?

[Hydrovector]

the pictures were taken a few years ago in Minnesota at a TCPBA race in Little Falls. I think the boat was raced by Baker Marine. I was not sure if the motor was original or pieced together, but cool looking no less.

[powerabout]

cant say but mid and lower is not from the same engine nor a Strangler
The mid at first glance is either a CCC mid or a F1 V8 and its joined to production transom assembly

[JWTjr.]

Powerabout is correct. 140 powerhead, modified, with Merc V6 carbs and custom intake, CCC centersection, production clamp and swivel, production gearcase with cone. The only thing Super Strangler is the hood.

JW don't miss anything on the old OMCs good info..

[powerabout]

sounds cool how about a photo of the powerhead

[Greg G]

Roughly how much did a Super Strangler/Stinger GP weigh all in with prop? Anyone know?

[powerabout]

I cant see it being much different than a stocker?

[thornl01]

Considerably lighter.

NOTHING SOUNDS LIKE an 8 barrel kr-15,

If you ever hear one, you will never forget it !

Mr. Demeanor, I doubt that one of these has anything on your Yamaha at this point. Weight would be the only advantage, and even then, not by much. I have one of these and before we disassembled it to restore it, I weighed it. With trim and lift pumps and cylinders, it weighed 258 lbs.

Curious, is 258lbs the weight of the "race" Super Strangler/Stinger GP 1972-1975 or was that weight for a standard 135 Strangler?

[powerabout]

didnt exist till after the 135
super stangler was mag cd
>>EDIT might be wrong, it came out before the 135, raced Paris 72

[Greg G]

Gotcha, I thought that JWTjr was saying he had restored a "true" 1972 8 pumper Super Strangler with all the goodies, and then went ahead and weighed the whole thing. I had heard that the Super Strangler/Stinger GP was a very light motor. 258lbs would have been incredibly light for a motor that had forward, reverse, and trim, race or not!
