Can’t wait to see what adventures this boat brings us...
|
Jays boat ran good with the big block been out in it alot fix the motor and leave it in there ,,
|
So, we spent two wks in Fla and towed a trailer down looking for motors and a bracket.
Hit the Dania flea market too but only scored a new set of fenders for the trailer after all that digging ;) (Dania was a waste!) Probably draw up plans have a bracket built at a local fab shop. Justintocars has a hookup ;) On motors, our 4 yr old chocolate lab got an infection in one of his legs and that wiped out 1/2 the kitty for the motors. Plan now is to stay on my buddy that I sold my '98 3.0 liter 250 HP Ocean Pros to until he digs them out of his barn. They had 250 hrs on them, all orig, when I sold them to him 5 yrs ago and have been untouched. I have one 3.3 liter, 300 HP hot rod powerhead I already built and can do a second and would be a direct replacement for the stockers. As in, add on 100 hp's. E-tecs would be plug and play too, for in the future. Harnesses...., everything. And they are getting cheap. Maybe a pair of 300's in a yr. Weather still sucks here in Ohio and new shop hasnt been started yet but hoping late this wk. |

Already have the cruiser. Im a 2 stroke fan and I know how to hot rod them and, they're cheap and light. Verados would be adding nearly 400 lbs to an already narrow transom.

You seem set on 2 strokes. Did you consider getting verado sand turning them up? |

Yep. Will use the helm already in the boat and cylinders (already have) in the front of the motors. This is the same as I did my two previous twin O/B 24' Sonics. Works great.

Loved your Sonic, this one should be great as well. Love the way you use them as well. "Things you can't do on your $300,000 center console"
