Aluminium Bowriders - need help

[easyrider525]

yes lads the 75 is enough. its the same engine as the 90 merc. the ventura's on the carbs are a bit smaller. but thats no prob for me got a second set on order from the states cheaps as chips. the warranty runs out soon ,so on go the new carbs. then look out.
but as she stands she can still pull a 95kilo fatso out on to skis no probs.

Whats the difference really between a Bowrider and a CC with regard to water coming over the front?

Easyrider before you buy those larger carbies make sure merc didn't change the port timing on the 90hp or you will end up with a real dog of an engine, 15hp is a lot to gain from just carbs given Merc probably rate the 75 and 90 at the same RPM? It smells like carbies are just one part of the upgrade needed. If I am right your 75 has the same cubic capacity it would blow the 90 away until around 4500 to 5000rpm anyway.nq

Thanks for the advice everyone, I think I am going to get a stacer 525 easyrider sports, 90hp 4stk motor.

Well. How did it go?.

Seriously. I have a 2002 Stacer 525 bowrider. '98 Mercury Optimax 90hp motor with around 100 hrs on it.
\
Upgraded motor for the islands then ended up using the 3.75/15 Yammie mainly in the dams for Barra.
Bent props in the sticks are expensive in the bigger motors.

Good trailer.
Furuno "Proper" boittom lock B/W sounder for barra and Snapper, reds trout etc,
small colour sounder for mid water fish

These motors are more ecomomical and reliable (less moving parts than the 4 strokes.
More out of the hole and
better top end. I've had both.

Thinking around $17 grand. or offers

Photo coming shortly. 0429-851-667 Macka.

Also a 3.75 Quinnie full bow. full height transon L/S 15 Yammie with low hrs.
on trailer.
Great Barra boat for coast and dams.

fair but of fishing gear too.
74 yr old. getting a bit stiff for climbing in and out of boats nowadays.
Mainly good quality Barra and light game. some new (never used)
Mostly Daiwa.
