Ooh sometimes I am good very very good! I may have found my engine. I am pulling the Johnson 70hp off it now and I got an email the other day from a gentleman who may even have 2 of the Evinrude Starfire 135hp engines which he could rebuild for a fair price. He even has covers that are in great shape.
Now this engine I am told would not mate up with a power trim of any kind and would have to be set manually before you throttled up. Hmm... I still think anything can be jury rigged if you try hard enough sounds like a challenge to me. My family doesn't call me McGuyver for nothing but we will see...
To have the exact engine they used in the movie would be very way cool I think! And to push that boat to near 62-65 mph riding on its prop & back chines while bouncing around would definitely stand your hair on end. One thing is for sure with no power trim to save you anything past 50 will start to scare you unless the lake is a mirror. Professional drivers only need apply lol.
Of course no original engine would be complete without the bullet hole fired at Bond by Sheriff Pepper that struck the engine (see Picture) but... I have that covered thanks to some cool stickers .38 caliber I believe LOL : )
