But I'd much rather rig you up a pissing sloth.

Are you insulting me and I don’t understand?😆.  Sloth never came to mind.  But I do have a picture of a monkey at an animal park in Florida they had to keep way back in the back so that nobody could see his “activities.  Neon blue pouch.  I asked about him on the way out and she said I was the only one to walk that far to see what was in that cage.  Worth it and I have pictures.

No no.   My youngest daughter has a thing for sloths.  So when I think of stuffed animals, naturally a sloth comes to mind first.

Besides.....I freakin' hate monkeys.

Oh yeah, monkeys are right there with dolls, clowns and squirrels.  Oh, and victorian cherubs.  Can stand the lot of em....

Will S. I run a 90 horse on a heavy 16.5 Lund with dual wind shields. I cruise at 30. Top end, at 5800 rpm, is 37 mph. 90 hp will not get you fast.

I had a Yammy two boats ago. Decent motor but the 4 stroke maintenance was expensive.

Happily, I now have my second Etech and it is almost off warranty so I can have Wrench work on it. If I ever buy a new boat, I will buy it w/o motor and transfer.

My two cents? If you like the boat, buy it. Sell the parts on the motor and have Wrench find you a used Etech and repower. If you do that, you will be much older before you need to buy a new boat.

REPORT : Bought it today.1860 all welded.

This was the set up I have been looking for, for a long time  Test ride was great. ran quiet ,smooth & popped up very quick. Water a  little choppy, I am not use to these tunnel hulls but it went fast enough for a fast slap on the surface. Good electronic, 2 props, 2 trolling motors (one hand & 1 foot control), Nice thick alum trailer,  boat in very good condition. Got a pretty good deal so I am happy with this purchase.

RPS (nice to hear from you again- I am not at Holiday Island anymore). I guess I should have clarified "fast".. in a small boat 37 IS fast. My Starcraft 22' fiberglass deck boat with a Suzuki (I think 140) Did 43 gps- stripped down weight..  Now my old Ranger 340V with the OVERPOWERED (pos) Evinrude 175 ran 69mph "GPS"  ran like a striped posterior ape. Chine walking MF, but then my 2002 Startos 18XL with the 150 Ficht did 70 on Table Rock on a glass water day & ran as smooth (no gear, 1/4 tank & a THINNER LIGHTER me), ... I am probably too old & unstable for all that anymore. Mpw I just want to hop from cove to cove & fish. For my purpose this 90 will push this Alum 1860 around just fine !

Actually though.  If you look at the indicator discharge port, you can loosen the outer nut, turn the inner piss hole part with needle nose pliers so that it pee's off to the side, and then tighten down the outer nut to hold its position.

Whoever rigged your motor either didn't know that....or skipped that part.   It is supposed to piss off to the starboard side so you can glance over your shoulder and see it.  

I took off the nut and there isn’t anything that looks like it would change the direction.  I’ll take a picture and post it.
