    Boat with Engine $500 Hmm..

    Yes it could be alot of work, and as i told others at least i have mine already finished and running 100%. if that engine is a LARK is that good? or if the engine does even run, this is a tough call to make!! But i could (i repeat could...) have a nice spare engine out of this if anything. my...

    Boat with Engine $500 Hmm..

    You know that is a great question, i do see some potential in the boat, but the great thing is i already have one of my own, and it's all fixed up and running 100% But the engine on this boat is rare ( i think if i'm correct) got some good seats to, shifter, cables and such. If that's a LARK 40...

    Type "C" or something equivalent

    Hello folks, I've read several different threads on this matter regarding hypoid oil for low end EJ outboard's, all I'm trying to find out, is what would work (in todays) lubricants' that will provide the same level of protection that my low end requires. I have a 1968 Evinrude 40 hp (manual...

    New to iboats hello..

    Agreed!! I'm 57 years old, and that engine was built when i was 3 years old, in my opinion, any engine that that runs 53 years later (if taken care of) certainly was not built from cheap engineering or cheap parts such as the junk being made today!!
