It was ok on a skin tank to be fair, and that was on the Thames so its big river stuff. The boat its going in is smaller than the one it came out off, but it will sit deeper in the water so create a bit more resistance I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to load it, but too alike texting, so I just txt. anyway Peter the engine was delivered today, all now on a pallet waiting for me to arrange installation. the conversion kit to be ordered on Tuesday, allowing me 2 days to work on the streets again, to get the money lol Edited May 4, 2019 by bigcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcol Posted May 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Okay A update then 90hp engine is in the workshop having a conversion kit from beta fitted to convert from keel cooled to raw water cooled. the kit has cost £1100. so not doing my home work on th skin tank size, and not coming on to the forum sooner, or before I bought the engine has cost a lot more money in the long run. although the engine is in fantastic condition, and will have new parts, but just to say thankyou to peterboat, for the heads up. and forum members for advice. a lesson to be learnt don’t under estimate the amount of keel tank needed. 2 other advice needed on new post lol thankyou all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
