Ouch! Worse than the first
ding in a new car
The following web pages are a running journal of activity on our project boat, Toy Boat 2 - a 2001 Edgewater 175CC, currently rigged with an Evinrude E-TEC 90.

The Big Move
The Big Move
Went in to Sunset Marine, ordered the motor and dropped off TB2. Should be in by 11/26 or so, they estimated less than 4 hours to install, including taking out the old motor and the old VRO system. Asked them to move the old Piranha prop to the new motor.

A Decision is Made...
A Decision is Made...
I was sort of fixated on using a Suzuki for the repower, so we decided to call Sunset Marine in Oceanside to get a quote on the Johnson 115 4-stroke (which is really a Suzuki). They gave us a good price, but suggested going with the Evinrude E-TEC 90 instead. Of course, that was what we had been thinking about originally, just got sidetracked. It turns out our controls and gauges would all work, plus we could add the water pressure gauge back in. This offset the cost savings of getting a Suzuki motor through our friend Mike. Plus the motor is around 100 pounds lighter than the Suzuki.
