Very nice! Is that a 150hp ungeared Hisso?
Hello Mike,
No it is the E2 Hisso 180 HP, no gearing. We had some challenges involved with its rebuild including aligning the 2 piece crank case that was not a matched set, pouring and boring new Babbit bushings, machining all new Valve guide inserts, and a whole lot of other little details.
Sincerely,
