I think the class rule is stock Merc 22 chopper.
Stock looking engine with 2:1 lower and a 22 chopper, light boat, lots of revs, you would get to 60?

Gordon, I am using the new style cover, so I don't have the issues you do. I still had to fab mounts for me because I have 135 heads.....and they don't have bosses in them to mount the coils on the head. So, I had the opposite problem. I use the last style of coil they made for these motors as well.....like you are doing. Those slanted motor tops do take up space. Suggestion........if you are gonna mount the upper coil up top, why not just fab up a bracket for each side(for the one coil) instead of using that 135 coil mount bracket for all four? That thing is massive. Truth be told, I would be forced to, because I use a water cooled rectifier. The paint looks good btw. Is that a 135 cowl? That would explain the reason for the tightness. OMC had to make changes when the heads with the integral coil mounts came out to create the spacing necessary for them. I also make my own plug wires as well. That way, I can make perfect length wires to tuck however I want them to.
I got my junk(free) 140 as a midsection and seized powerhead. The belly pan was beat up and I had to cut it off to get to certain bolts that were corroded beyond use.......grinding the heads off bolts to be able to separate the p-head from the mid. The crank is bad, and all the rods/pistons are bad, but the block is a stock bore, so it can be cleaned up. when its completed, it will be using the last generation of electronics from the 90's, since it came as a bare hunk of metal. I think it was left out behind the dudes shed for years. I drained copious amounts of water out of an inspection cover.

Keefallan, send me a PM with your email and I'll shoot you the PDF. No, this is the stock 1978 Evinrude 115 cover. The 1977 140 is the exact same shape and just as restrictive. The Johnson covers not only have more room in the back, they have a breathing/venting system around the handle area that these Evinrude covers don't have. Don't overlook the old coil bracket - it weighs nothing, just a few ounces, but only if your block has the 3 post needed to mount it. Seriously, the bracket weighs about the same as one coil. I'm only going to mount the top 2 coils with it, those on 3 and 4 will mount on the heads. I will cut and trim the eBay bracket before the new paint is applied mostly to clean up the old style CDI box mounting tabs in the back and improve appearances.
