I'm Building an OMC 75 Short Shaft Hustler/Stinger. I've taken a lot of notes from this site, but still need advice on what I should do. This motor will be a river motor and probably be used on one of the new Fancy aluminum speedy duck boats coming out of Arkansas. I would like to do some light-medium mods, but keep the motor dependable.
I have the following parts:
- Getting a 1969 55hp 3 cylinder Evinrude center section with a 1978 75hp tuner
- An 81' model 49er fishing motor
- An 80' Stinger with club foot
- A 30" tiller handle off of a V4 evinrude
Questions:
What are the advantages of the 56er over the 49er?
Will the 49 crank fit a 56 block? (I know some of the later 56ers have a diff spline)
Will the top-end speeds be much different between the two?
Should I build a 49er since I already have the blocks on hand?
Will the 56er bolt right on to my mid? The front half of the case is the same right?
