    Looking for my first ski boat

    The power output per displacement is higher, the motor is 1/2 as complex as a 4-stroke,, the 2 stroke is seriously lighter than an equivalent powered 4-stroke and they pretty much last forever with minimal maintenance. And best of all, everyone wants 4-strokes, so the market is skewed where...

    Can I buy a used 302 and use parts from my bad motor to convert it to marine?

    first, check your exhaust manifolds. most of the time water getting in is from failed exhaust manifolds. Check that first do a leak down test to see if you have rusty valves from a leaking manifold BEFORE you fire off a parts cannon most automotive 302 motors share a few parts with the...
