Default More than 1 Banana Resto this winter

Hey guys I am redoing Second Choice Hull #3. I have started cutting out the soft spots on the foredeck from underneath and am getting ready to recore it. I was thinking of using nidacore anyone ever use it?

I will also be closing in the transome and going with a i/o. I was thinking about one of these engines matched w/ a bravo 1 what do you think.

Dressed 355 c.i. GM Marine
Horsepower: 395 Torque: 415

Dressed 383 c.i. GM Marine
Horsepower: 400 Torque: 435

What do you think i will see for speed with the 2 packages

I will start posting pics soon

Josh

Go with a stoker SB or BB you need lots of torque to push a 24' boat.

I agree. The stroker would probably be a nice setup, or the big block.

Anybody have the new Raylar engine? Sounds good, I would like to hear something from anyone who has one.
