Re: [OMC-Boats] Outdrive Gear Ratios v6 versus v8

Hi Rob - What are you going to ask for your 67's. Could you email me some pictures. Thanks  Mark    (mrnick37@...)

I also live in Michigan and have been watching the Rogue. I would like to see this one back on water. Should the price not go too high I will try to aquire it for restoration. I doubt it will take much to get it running. I have two 67 sportsmans and will be selling one soon. I also have a restored 64 Johnson deluxe with V6. I have been considering a larger boat like the 19 footers with V8.

Do you need a upper gearcase or just looking to keep one for a spare?

Thanks for reply.  I'm thinking about bidding on a cheap '67 rogue on ebay right now,  mainly because it has great seats identical to the '68 sportsman seats, and because it's only 50 miles from my Sportsmans in Michigan.  But the cost has reached $360, so it would be great if it had significant other parts I could use - like the outdrive.  Hence my question on whether it is practical to switch gears in the upper gearcase.  I figure if I wear out a Sportsman outdrive, hopefully its upper gears can be transplanted into the outdrive from the Rogue.

Anyone wanting a '67 Rogue in good condition should take a look.  This one has a lot of life in it and should not be a parts boat.  Says the engine does not start, but also says it has sat for 10 years unused.  I'd withdraw if someone on the list wanted it to restore:

Lee, when you upgraded from the V-6 to the V-8, did you change the gears in your outdrive?  Per your prop page, these engines used different ratios in the upper gears:

I'm wondering how to do the reverse - to change the V8 gears in an outdrive to gears designed for the V6.  Is it a simple matter to switch these things out?

Thanks for any info.
