Hi Tom, looks interesting. How does the lazerette open? Is it just hinged on the top of the box? I’m seriously looking at a new Nissan 9.8 for a number of reasons. First it is smaller than Yamaha or Honda, second it weighs less (and I do race, so that is a consideration) and third it is a good bit less expensive. Notice I didn’t say cheaper….cause none of them are cheap. I’ll still likely have to modify the lazerette cover as well.

I've attached and image of our "doghouse" for our Yamaha 9.9 . We've also noticed that the PO notched the upper edge of the outboard opening by an inch or so to accomodate the motor tilt. Tom C. Kiona West River, Md. 2008/6/24 Tom Owen <HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I repowered my boat several years ago and could not find ANY 9.9 that would fit. My cutout had already been enlarged for the 1982 Evinrude 15 (essentially a 9.9 with electric start), but sill nothing came close. I ended up with a Nissan 9.9 and still had to modify the engine cover to fit in the cutout. I think you are going to have a really tough time finding any engine that will fit without modifying the cutout and the engine cover.

I'm pretty sure this question has been asked before so excuse me for going into it again. Has anyone out there found a newer model (4 stroke) motor that fits onto the stern of a older OB model C27 without having to modify the stern of the boat? I am looking to replace the old Johnson 9.9 that has done yeoman's duty for years but REALLY don't want to get into mounting brackets, etc. Maybe a Nissan 8.0 or such? Many thanks in advance.
