| Post subject: | re powering my 23.5 vista |
Are there any thoughts on re-powering my '89' 23.5 Vista, my engine is shot so will probably put a 300 hp 5.7 from US Engine who is down the road in Kirkland WA. The torque will destroy the old cobra outdrive so what is my best option for a 4000 lb boat, there are so many gear ratios to choose from etc. I will also add a three inch riser on the exhaust and a hold baffle between the horn and the elbow to keep any waves from pushing water into the engine while pulling crab pots with the engine off.

What engine and drive ratio did it have originally? If the Cobra is in good shape a 5.7 should not tear it up, you can convert it to a VolvoSX by changing the pivot housing but it's expensive. |
