Here is my boat, well, here it is before I bought it, It has the bowfishing accoutrements on it now (troller, deck, ect). I think its gonna look lots better when that 115 is hanging off the back of it! On a side note, anyone want a 16ft tri hull with a 50 merc for CHEAP? ;)
I'm looking to buy a motor for my grizzly 1860 CC, if you want to sell just the motor send me a PM with the info and shipping costs. If I don't find a good used motor by next month, I'm breaking down and buying a new one from Bass Pro

I wouldn't know the first thing about shipping an outboard, and would you really want a 50 on that 1860? if you are interested i suspect that the price I am looking for is about 1/8th of what you would pay new at bass pro

Woohoo! she is fast, really fast. As soon as i get some trim issues worked out and a calm day on the lake i will report back on how fast. but i do know that after I smoked the prop on a giant rock that it was in the mid 40s on rough water. and like i said, that was with half a prop.

What kind of trim problems u got? I have the same outboard and have done alot of work with the trim system. Let me know if u have any questions , and I have some spare parts if you need them.

trim problems stem from the fact that the motor came with a bad power trim ram, which was not installed at the time but the guy handed it to me. Well the mounting brackets from the 50hp and the 115 were "exactly the same" so I decided to swap the power trim from the 50 over, well i missed one minor aspect of the swap and that was where the ram mounted in the top to the upper motor clamp bracket. on the 115 single ram system it is offset, and the 50 three ram it was directly in the center. I have found a manual trim unit for the 50 so my plan is now to swap out the brackets and use either the entire bracket from the 50 or just the upper portion of it. It seems as though it is going to be a giant PITA to do the swap but the time seems worth the money.
 
First check with the dealer! 1. Insurance Com. may not insure the boat with that size motor! 2. u.s.c has a frormual. all boats are not rated for the same size motor, even though, they are the same size boat. I ran into that problem with a bass boat! What does your plate on the boat say for max horse power?
