1989 scarab sprint repower
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2015 12:10 pm
hello to the group
I have recently acquired a 1989 26 scarab sprint and I love the way the boat rides. the boat came with the original 225 Yamaha and still rides great but I find myself wanting more I feel that I have been riding the motor hard 5500,5600 rpms to keep the boat at a speed and more comfortable ride. I have been looking into repower options and knowing that the new 4 strokes are about 150 pounds heavier I wanted to know if that's going to be too much weight on the transom. Im new to outboards so this is a whole new concept to me. any suggestions? anyone have a good 250 or 300 4 stroke for sale?
