He said that with a 25 HP the boat will go about 38 mph (which will feel like about 80 in that small of a boat) and I will be able to throw the keys to anyone and not be worried about them killing themselves (or someone else). The hull only weighs about 250 lbs. |
Re: How much is it worth??

BTW: Did I see you listed as a member of CBPBA. What poker runs do they do? I've already registered for the Richmond run but would like to do one on the upper bay. Would prefer one that goes to Annapolis or Baltimore just to see the area by water. Any suggestions? |
Re: How much is it worth??
Craig, call Tim at Marine Services in Woodbridge VA. He's a great guy and really knows his stuff when it comes to marine engines. He's the only guy who I let touch my boat. Anyway, he has alot of used outboard motors for sale, too. I'm sure he can help you.
Just tell him I told you to call him. Hopefully he won't charge you extra! :p Steve |
Re: How much is it worth??
Hey Craig, we still got a V8 300 OB hanging around, I think we can make it work, I got a great set of tools :D
Russ, we do about 4 runs a year in the upper Bay. If you sign up as a website member (free) on www.cbpba.com you can check up on all our events and join us for the fun. We will definitely help you burn up some fuel and kill some brain cells- right Craig?????? :drink: |
