I have this same 140 engine on my 1988 Doral 19 foot. Still runs strong. My Dad bought this boat brand new in 1988. I inherited it 3 years ago. Loved seeing your video, thanks for sharing it. I love the smell of 2 stroke smoke every time I fire it up on a nice warm morning. Nothing Like IT!!

Damn good engines. Two stroke with a carberater. No BS, they just worked.

Wow...I had a 15ft Hydrostream with a 135 Johnson running a 26 pitch prop that would do 70mph...I ran many a gallon of gas through that thing

I just love the colors and the look of the old evinrudes. The black and the blue. They just spell reliability and power I think

Hi, What year is your motor? Thank you

I got the same motor with what we think is fuel issues hit the throttle and it boggs and dies

@@Mablemaddness what prop do you have on it in the video, I just bought an older boat with a 140 on it and have not tested it yet. It has a 13 1/4 - 19 on it right now. These things should max out at 5000 rpm.

@@R1Kyle I have the exact same prop you have, but in this video it’s turning 5800rpm so I’m going to try a 21”

@@Mablemaddness Yeah that would be better as 5500 is a huge max you would want to turn that motor.
