"Hi all,

Thinking on putting on a 90 h/p mariner to replace my volvo/penta i/o in my 18 ft 1967 glasspar seafair sedan,think that's a good combo? just waiting on the outboard braket to get started"

"Doyle, know a few guys that went from I/O's to outboards and loved it - easier to maintain (no bending over to work), and noticable improvement in fuel economy.

My only concern with your particular set-up would be "is that enough horses". A 90 is kinda the minimum horsepower you would hang on the back of an 18' aluminum - I would suspect an 18' glass boat would be somewhat heavier (??).

A 90 will push along 1400/1500 pounds (total weight) quite nicely. If your set-up, including passengers/gear/junk/gas/batteries etc is much more than that, you may be disappointed with performance...."
