I bought my first boat a few weeks ago is a 1983 Glastron HP 175, it had a 70 hp engine on it but I just bought a 150 hp evinrude and need to install it on the boat. I am trying to do as much of the repairs myself as possible. How difficult is it to install a new motor? Is this something that I need to have a shop complete? Found a shop that said they would install for 500 is that a good price?
thanx
