Re: 250 Sportsman Project
He repowered from the prop to the key with Brand new Mercuriser, and Brovo out drive, I think 260 hp? Chevy 350, Carb.
Not sure what we did for speed back then? But we would go 30 miles off shore 60 miles round trip, we would Cod fish for 6 to 8 hours and run the engin 80% of the time. Moving from spot to spot, and drifting along.
I seem to remeber that we would use something like 60 gal for a day like that?
I will ask him tomorrow for some better info. Boat took water nice, very comfy, But I think my V20 has more fishing area! I hated them step up's!
Thats why I like the off shore beter they no have the step ups.
