I'm about to trade my 40hp Yammie for a 135hp(90hp cowl) "REvinrude" !
Here's the motor that might replace the yammie!!:Envious:

That is quite a difference! Hope the swap goes well and the new motor is working well! How fast was it before? I wonder how fast it will be now!!

Damn! You youngsters got the need for speed!
Us old men have to worry about kidney damage and throwing our backs out!
Good luck with the big motor!
Just curious, how can you tell it's a 135 under that 90 cowl? Serial #?
I'd throw some 150 decals on it instead. Unless you're tryin' to sandbag and pick up some races! LOL!
Oh and don't forget to invest in some SOSpenders for you and your pops! At 50MPH you'll be halfway across Castaic before you notice someone is missing!!!
