I also forgot to post my question, how many of you guys closed of the vents on the sides, or did you leave them or take one set off. If we were to take them both out and close up the holes, would we need some other sort of ventaltion? Thank You

SeaMaster, I too have a 1978 but I think my console is different than yours. If you go with twin 150's I think that is an awesome power package, I would also seriously consider twin yam 130's. Pretty good gas mileage, 27kt cruise and 45mph top. I had them on the boat before my 115 4s Suzuki's. 150 may up the top end by 5mph but will probably burn 17-18gph vs 14 with the 130's. You'll get good oomph from the 130's. I assume you are buying used or leftover engines to save $$$. You will be disappointed with a single 225 in my opinion.

How much time is herm going to take? Dare I ask a ball park estimate of what you plant to spend?

Briguy thank you for the info. As far as how long on the HermCo part, he is not sure because he has only seen pics and not the actual boat. We think it will probably be 2 months or less. At least that is what we hope. We also plan on spending maybe 20,000 or so at HermCo, then new electronics, and engines, we aren't sure about.

Well we are heading out in about 30 minutes to take the boat to HermCo. Should be a fun and intresting trip. The day i have been waiting on for years now has finally come. I will take some pics of it when we drop it off. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hey,

I am looking for someone to restore my 83 23' i/o with a jackdrive. The boat is in good shape, but I'd like to restore her for the long haul. Can you tell me anything about the guys that are restoring your boat? I'd like to contact them to discuss my boat.

Thanks,

John

Well ScottM gave you he link i found them on. Don is a very nice, cool guy.

Well we just got back from taking the boat. He said the time it is done all depends on when the painter can paint it.

The day we left wasn't our best day. We woke up to a flat tire. So we had to fix it before we could take the boat.
