Thanks Pete, Gelcoat is SO thick on this boat, I was able to do 2 coats of super duty compound, 2 coats finess it #2 and 2 coats of Colonite wax. And it still looks like that after being oiled and beat by Sandy.
I was thinking Yamaha b/c I have new control box and full rigging including fuel mgmt. I haven't run too many OPTI's. How's the noise level, smoke and fuel usage? I want my wife and daughter to be able to not get nauseous. Next month I will be agressively looking for a 25" motor. Hopefully a deal where it needs work or something.

I have a 225 Opti on my boat. It is a little louder than the carbed 150 Yamaha I used to have. But it actually gets better fuel economy. I only get a puff of smoke when getting up on plane after a lot of idle speed. If you already have most of the rigging than the HPDI is the way to go. A lot of people are repowering with the new F200. So I'm sure a 200 HPDI will turn up soon. If you need a hand checking out a motor just let me know. I can bring the laptop to see what kind of run history and fault history it has.

Thanks for the download offer, I may take you up on that when i find one.
From your other post, might do a t-top next year after the deck is repaired and I see how the boat rides. I haven't run this boat since I got it so I'm not sure if I'm goin to need a t-top. I also have a Wellcraft 250 Coastal for nasty days and family trips. so probably not going to much on the v20 for a top. both boats have gunnel mount outriggers and the v20 will have leaning post with rodholders.

Been making progress slowly but surely. Getting in the shop between everything else going on. I've put 9 layers of 1708 biaxial and will be putting 2 layers of mat on the outer transom. Been patching unneeded holes and stress cracks with leftover material. I'm hoping to spray gelcoat by the end of next week.

That's some good looking glass work. I'm glad to see you're still making progress.
