Very nice project. I just got a 77MA myself a few weeks ago. Mine won't see water for a few years.

there is a nice 150HP HPDI on S, FL craigs that would be a fine addition to your project.

Wish I had the money for a paddle right now.

But I would like to get the max hp engine on it.

It always seems like you need the extra ponies after you load the boat with all coolers rods etc... and 3 fat friends.

I am thinking down the line of a 200hp opti, yami or etec

That 150 would perform very repsectfully. Ask Fr. Frank. He's got a 90 on a 20' Seafari and it does VERY nicely and Very economically. That 200 maybe more weight than you really want, not that the hull can't handle it.

FWIW, without an engine mounted on it to bounce up and down, you can't tell if the transom is solid.

My transom had a bit of play when I bounced the big Honda. The glass guy thought it was probably fine, but I had him replace it anyway. He opened her up and found that all the wood had rotted.

I only mention this because it might be wise to replace and raise the transom before you repower.

that may be the plan but for now I have plenty to do.

Maybe I could open up som exploritory holes and see what lies within?

Some times its better not to know - just kidding welcome to the rarest SeaCraft family - I can help with the engine when your ready - they will be Etec's.

doesn't look to bad overall though - why do they put the throttle on the left???? I'm retarded left handed - at least you can change that LOL

Congrats its will be a great Miami boat, I think they were made there ;)

also if you ever take the rod holders off please trace a paper outline - I have lost at least $500 worth of rods off mine- and no I'm not kidding [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
