Motor is 2 stroke. 1983 Johnson. 20" Transom. Fuel tank and battery are sitting in back near transom right now.
Basically ive got all the weight of the boat in the back.
I figured it had more to do with the center console/tiller thing than the nasty foam.
I will see if i can add some weight under the decking to compensate.
I have a 1978 Lund V hull that I am really having trouble with. This boat is 15 feet long, and 66" wide at the beam. The bow of the boat really wants to rise out of the water even with a little Johnson 15 HP on it. Like so much that I am nervous about flipping the boat. I'm trying to decide if...
I am looking for some motor mounts for my 1977 35 HP. I found a part number 321469 on ebay. (this is the big mount that goes on the front of the midsection. No longer made). This part also has some side motor mounts with it part number 325975. These parts come off a 1988 28 special outboard. My...

New gasket Saturday, installed today. Pumps great. Took motor to river and this thing FLIES! I’m not sure I’ve got much higher top end speed but she jumps right up on plane which is what I was looking for.
Now to replace some of those motor mounts!
319665 is the one i bought and installed (which is leaking). It is missing the little chunk in the upper port side corner of the gasket. I thought it was odd it was missing but everything else matched up. It is not correct.
327674 I believe is the part i need. Strange because this part starts being used in 1982. This 1977 still has the external coils and doesn't use the powerpacks yet.
