Since I know some of you really like older engines, to whoever can tell me what this is I will send a gift.

If you need more pics let me know.

Bender · 06-25-06, 08:07 PM

Close the the age range.

Evinrude 75 horse, 1976?

Bender · 06-26-06, 01:14 PM

Nope, It is not on a bass boat if that helps. It is from the mid to late 70s.

JB · 06-26-06, 01:30 PM

well it must be a chrysler seaking then, cus most other brands are black or grey for that year...close?

Bender · 06-26-06, 04:10 PM

Yes, Chrysler 110. I am not sure of the year. I will take some more pictures later. I had not heard of them before, it is on my business partner's old Chrysler Conqueror 115. PM me your address and I will have to figure out some prize.

i am guessing it is a 78-79 chrysler it is tough to tell the age. i do know that if the lower unit is sharply pointed it is pre 70 vintage. put the hood on it take a picture of it and the lower i can tell ya..

please note this moter looks to be a reblock the intake/carb is the only part that looks original. the ecu looks like a 80's version.. please note the pulley belt if this breaks you are screwed.. replace that lil pulley belt every year-trust me.i know these old moters if they are running like a sewing machine -don't mess with it..

Here is the boat and the motor:

It is in our shop shop so we can try to get it running after 2 years of sitting around.
Also, here is my boat, I just moved it back 11" to get the tongue weight down from 230lbs. to 150 lbs. Also I welded up some 1" square and made guide posts to load it easier.

they stopped making a chyrsler in the 90' s i think ..

ya ever see those gold covered chryslers of the 60's? man, they look like a washing machine they are so big

Bender · 06-26-06, 08:30 PM

This is the first and only Chrysler I have ever seen. I was told it was built especially for some Chysler exec around here (west of Detroit). It says Chrysler Boats, Plano, TX on the hull. I really like the design of the boat, not that I like ski boats, but it has nice lines and a pretty big engine for a ~17-18 footer from that time.

angelus40 · 06-27-06, 10:58 PM

geno · 07-15-06, 06:40 PM

I bought a new one in 72, Chrysler boat with a 105. Walk thro winshield tri hull an don't believe the 105 ratting it might make 70 if you are lucky. a guy came by one day and just had to have it was I ever so pleased.
