Hi PBer's
I am looking to get a spare outdrive for my river cruiser. Got an '84 TR behind a Velvet drive / 454
Looking at a '73 TR that came off a 215 HP Ford with a Mercruiser Tranny.
Sweet deal with low hours and outta fresh water. I get prop, trim/tilt rams, gimbal housing etc.
Aside from a having lift ring on the older unit gear housing top they look the same and have same size props and gear ratio.
Only thing I don't know is if the decade age difference makes any difference.....???
Anyone smarter than me want to fill me in?
Thanks!
