Default Re: Horse Power

Answering the questions first:

1) Yes, this is the one on eBay last week.
2) I would like to run offshore, but I don't know how likely that would be with only 60 gallons of gas. (2x30)

The guy happens to be someone I know (but not well at all). The boat was 1 mile from my house and I found it on eBay - go figure.

I went and took a look at it. The floor is completely solid but in need of cosmetic work. Transom work looked great - no spring whatsoever even with the twins hangin on.

Best I can tell, this boat needs:

1) Sell two 140hp Johnsons and buy a 175hp.
2) Sand and paint the outer hull - although it looks pretty darn good like it is.
3) Something needs to be done to the floor. Like I said, floor is strong but tired looking and has a hairline crack or two - what should I do to make the floor look better?

Nobody said yeah or nay on the jack plate idea - is it a bad idea to use a jackplate to hang a 25" shaft ob on a 20" transom? Or do you even need to?

Thanks for your great input! Ya'll are the real deal. That was fast!!!

Thanks,
BR
