    Is there a website like this for smaller motors?

    I'm looking for a site similar to this but more in line with the 50-70 OMC stuff.
    Debating on rebuilding my 1988 50hp Evinrude or looking for a 3 cylinder 70.
    (Then I can park the Allison for the winter.)

    There has been some discussion on here over the years although V6 Merc dominates followed by V6 OMC. The old crossflow V4 OMC's also have quite a following here. ETEC's Opti's etc all get more love here than any of the smaller motors. I have gotten quite a but of attention for posting a few things I've done with the small stuff but no love when looking for advice. Boat Racing Facts Dot Com (you'll have to string that together in your own, forum software censors it) has quite a bit more discussion on the smaller motors.

    A motors a motor. Two strokes you open ports, add compression, bigger carbs, increase timing, run the best race fuel you can and pray it holds together every pass. Or just leave em stock and work the set up like most of us
