Re: New Power
 

Good for you , Strip . No doubt you did the right thing . I was helping a good friend the other day with his brand new 21' SeaCraft . Let me tell you that is one fine rig !Not to take anything away from it . With $45k+ invested "what's he got that I ain't got "? I have about $10K boat , motor , trailer , electronics , covers , ect. in my boat and she is rock solid . And when the time comes to repower I might have $18 or more in it , but I have had the use of it all of these years many more to come . Looking at what a new boat cost vs. repowering it is an easy choice for me . Not to mention that this guy bought the SeaCraft because he liked the layout better over the Regulator . He said "it was more like my V20 " lots of room and a huge casting deck forward and no euro-transom like most other boats . Yep , It will be a repower when the time comes for this poor boy .

Strip - that's a great engine!! Those 2.6L yamaha's haven't changed too much since the 80's (just a few more stainless parts) and the design has proven to be rock solid and quite fuel efficent (for a carb 2 stroke). Congrats!!
