Ted Williams 9.9 15hp?? 217-586330

[dillon]

Can anyone confirm what year and hp this motor is? Its a Ted Williams 217-586330, it is decaled 9.9 but I saw on one site listing motors it showed it being a 1978 15hp. Not sure if back in the day someone just changed decals or the cowl to get a bigger hp motor on the lake that didn't allow 10hp or above.

thanks for any info. on this, dillon

that is a 1978 eska 15hp probably with a different cowl or sticker. searspartsdirect has diagrams and part numbers.

Boy some folks will try just about anything for more power, actually quite ingenuous !

Yea just dont get caught they can take the boat, trailer and car plus give you a huge fine. The 9.9 is just a detuned 15hp anyways for that very reason for the silly regs. But dont worry liberal/progressive tree huggers will outlaw all two stroke motors and have us pass emissions on all boat motors as well.
