Man. I wish people here would price older motors like these ads. Those V4's here would be going for $2k or more.

What will you be doing with your boat ?
Pulling kids on tubes & skis ?
How fast do you want to go ?
How many people will be in boat most of the time ?
How much can you spend ?

A 40 to 50 HP will get ya about 30 mph
60 to 75 HP will get ya high 30's
90 to 100 HP should get ya into mid 40's or more ...
Tilt and trim are more then nice, I would never get a motor with out it.
Unless your getting a 20 to 30 HP motor.

Putting a seal kit in one isn't that bad, as long as you don't have to replace gears, bearings, etc.. I did mine in one weekend last spring, no prior experience other than impeller and gear lube changes! (I did use a Clymer shop manual and Joe Poole for info/reference.)

Thinking the Twin 20 HP Chrysler's For $350 !!Sent a email waiting for a response !!
That would be a odd thing too see a Glastron with Chrysler drive and twin's no less !!
Not looking for speed just cruise /trolling and fishing with the wife and dog's !!
they are 1977 's will have too mix the gas but should work !!
