Re: RAGE Jet Re-power

I love the jets so I'm trying to avoid going to outboard power with my Rage 15, which has a blown OMC 115 TurboJet. I would like to increase the power. I've been trying to get information on what engines would drop-in with the current gear box without modification or at only least minor modification...

Re: RAGE 15 Jet Re-power

Good info - thanks. I was thinking that if I did do a conversion to OB that I would use a 90 HP - is the weight difference between the 90 and the 70 really that critical? I can't get past the fact that I think it's under-powered as is and that the 70 would not be much of an improvement - but then ag...

Re: RAGE 15 Jet Re-power

Yeah, I may end up going the conversion route but, call me crazy, I really love the Jet Drives. Replacing the 115 TurboJet with a 140 TurboJet is option 1 (if possible), replacing with another 115 is option 2, and conversion is option 3. But I do appreciate any advice and input you all have - who kn...

RAGE 15 Jet Re-power

My 1994 OMC 115 Turbojet in my Rage 15 is blown. I was going to have it rebuilt when I noticed that the X-Flow turbojet motors came in 90, 115 and 140 HP. Has anyone here ever swapped the 115 HP turbojet for a 140 turbojet? Would be possible to do so in a Rage 15? The Rage 15 has always been under-p...
