Gw invader club full#

The bottom of the boat is all done and fully gel coated. If I find a short shaft (mainly the exhaust housing) can I convert this to short shaft? Dont think I could ever get a deal like this again. Cranked over for a bit then purred like a kitten. He accepted and I now have a 60hp 20' shaft evinrude. He made the comment of make an offer and I said $100.00 is all I would do.

Told the guy that It wasnt what I was looking for and was heading out. Besides that the motor was in great condition for a 1981. Definitly was a 20' shatf and the numbers on the motor proved it. Soon as I got there and saw it I noticed it wasnt a short shaft however. Didnt want to spend that much yet but didnt want to mss out of a deal too. He said the motor has been sitting for about 2 years off the boat in a garage. Got ahold of the guy and he stated it was for sure a 15' shaft. Didnt have pics but stated it was a short shaft. Was messing around on craigslist and found a 60hp Evinrude for sale. What do you mean you need to keep an eye on it? Is that something I can improve? Im hoping with power trim it will get on plane faster and be able to dial it in better on top end when needed. I have heard it takes a bit to get on plane but once there its a blast. Driving a small boat like that is a blast and sometimes unnerving but you can't beat the excitement. I also think a kill switch is in order! Mine doesn't have power trim and the merc is bolted right to the transom. I also have the cable and pulley steering which I have to monitor closely. I have a 17 pitch nos 2 blade bronze prop but I feel it wouldn't get my butt up on plane! I really wish it had a fin on the bottom as I feel it would make a little more stable(especially in turning).

I want to find a 15 pitch as I think that it would drop my rpm's a bit.

It does a bit of porpoising at midrange but when you give it full throttle, it would twist the stern loose a bit then take off. It would take a little bit to get up on top but once their it was fun to drive. I have a GW invader with a 1967 Merc 500ss short shaft that would run between 45-50 mph with a 13 pitch merc 2 blade. Pretty much thats all I know:oДЄny help would be apreciated.

Figure battery in front of me in center for weight. not sure if I should go with merc 4 cyl 50 or evinrude 2 cyl 50? Thinking I need to use a short shaft. What I want to do and what I think I know is the following. I havent glued anything down yet becasue im not sure if I need more support so I am asking you guys and gals for help if you can. I have started by ripping out the floors in hope of making the boat as strong as possible. I have seen pics of 50's of bigger hanging off the back but no info so I figured I would ask for help so here I am. I have done some reserch but really cant ge much on the set-up. My main goal with this boat is to put it in the 50mph range. I recently have purchased a 10' GW invader that I would like to set-up with a 50hp outboard. I am fimiliar with boats and have 2 but I have bought them and never changed a thing on thim for set-up cause they work. I am new here to the site and pretty much to setting up boats.
