Just to say a little about my 1967 14' Alumacraft FD model. I finally got to run tho old gal yesterday. Running a new mercury 9.9 it performed great. Put about 3 hours on it breaking in so far. Boat rode so sweet in the water and the merc pushed it better than I expected. at 3/4 throttle even in...
Well I find this very interesting. My # is FD14270 Alumacraft told me it is a 1967 model. So that's what I am going with. Now any help with the specs would be great! Maybe it can help someone in the future. Or not lol. Still a good ole boat
A little update. I got ambitious and removed lower unit. Impeller was there but not in a nice condition. Waiting on the parts now. Note to all the nubies, Make sure to keep up with the pin! Kinda hard to find once you lose it! Anyway wish me luck in putting things back together! Hey, I only...

A little update on my old 15 hp gamefisher. I do realize it is not a world shattering thing, but I like to talk too much. I got the old tinny in the water last weekend. Floats great with no leaks. The old Gamefisher starts and idles great even after years of mostly improper storage. I have...

I will be trying it out Saturday. It is solid state ignition. Will be using new plugs also. Finding information on this motor seems hard to find. If it works as good as it did the last time I am golden. It has less than 50 hours on it.
A hardy hello to all the knowledgeable and helpful boaters here. After several years of inside storage I am about to embark on the use of a Sears Gamefisher 15 hp outboard. This engine ran great the last time it was used, and I myself was the one using it. It belonged to my late father-in-law...
I want to thank all for their help in this matter and any suggestions are appreciated. I was able to contact TWRA and get everything corrected and get my registration approved today. Having correct information will help getting the specs I need for safe operation and less stress on my part. I am...
