sixmassive, Try a pair of MERC 300X's. I have a pair on a MAGNUM SEDAN - 18" bracket - Sportmaster lowers - 4 blade 24* props - very heavy hull - your Sutphen would be very fast !!! "HIGH LIFE"
|
i would most likely put on Yamaha because of the reliability. we dont have very good service departments in the VI.
not really going to all out speed, more for reliability and seas. trying to figure out what would be a good combo for lower fuel consumption and engine loading. either 2x200s or 2x225 yamahas. thanks |
First i have to get the boat to FL if it is still FS in 2 weeks. I only have a week off, then i have two weeks of classes for an endorsement on my license, then i have another week off before i go offshore for a month.
once the boat is in south fl, it will be in storage until october when i can drop it off to get a bracket and repower, where ever i decide to bring it. any recommendations are welcome. thanks |

I am planning a similar project with a 26RR with twins in South Florida. Looking to do the same thing you're contemplating, replace the GIL brackets and put a stainless on. This single 26 is a good starting point in my opinion and is priced right. Send me a PM if interested in sharing ideas or want to take a look at what the starting point is with this project. More than happy to show you my RR in dry storage so you can get an idea.

That thing looks awesome! I'm offshore working for Bp right now. Pretty much the only reason I haven't bought it yet. Ill be back in 2 weeks and would love to check out your boat. I'll pm you my contact info. I need to find a storage place and somewhere to do some of the rigging.
|
six you should contact the guy who bought my 26 and check it out. Its gonna be in tampa when you get back. Not too far.
You'll fall in love with sutphens. |
