need help locating 175 hp motor

[curjones]

I was sold a 220 hp motor on a boat rated for 175. I need to find some one who has a 175 around the 1984 year range that might want to trade for the 220. I can't fish tournaments with this set up. If any one has some links to sites that sells old motors or knows dealers close to Oklahoma city that would make the deal please post reply. The 220 runs like a champ.

not that I would ever advocate cheating I am afraid I would use the bracket assy with the seriel/model plate from a 175 and run it. as long as the inspector cant ID a 220 from a 175 by sight there is no other good way to tell. would be a lot easier to replace the port bracket than find a 175 in good shape. however if the tech inspector knows yammies its easy to tell the difference. in those years I think the 220 was a microprocessor ign with a TPS on the top carb while all the rest had movable timers and standard CDI's.
