Hey everyone im new to the whole boating scene and I purchased my first boat the end of last summer but never got to actually work on it untell this year. The boat is a 1978 Centruty Closed Bow Classic, there is a link at the bottom of the post to see the same model. As for a motor it has a 1979 Evinrude 200hp V6 model 200940A. I have the motor all ready to start up now. Was wondering the best mix ration for this motor? 50:1 sounds like it to me but I need to make sure. Also whats a ballpark figure on how much a motor like this is worth? I can not seem to find any answers on the net or find any forsale. Any help would be great, thanks. oh also the boat use to be an inboard but there was an Arm Strong put on the back of the boat this big arm covers the hole for the inboard and sticks out about 2 feet off the back of the boat with the evinrude on it.. any sugestions to how this set up well work? never seen it before so im just curious
