repower suggestions
 

I am looking to repower my 23ft CC I currently have twin johnson 130's. I am looking at twin 150 E-Tec's. Does anyone have any suggestions. I also have a Hermco twin engine bracket.

Their as good as it gets, only other option would go to 300 single

I'd recommend ARG in Riveria Beach. Service Manager Stan seems to be a real good guy.

Not sure about the bracket but what I didn't mention is I definately would go 250 or 300 but thats just me - lots less weight and the boat runs better - at least my sceptre did.

That's my plan with the same setup when (if) the OX66 goes.

I echo the idea of a single 300, but strongly advise adding a 8-15 hp kicker motor for long trips offshore.

I once came back to Florida all the way from the Bahamas on just a 15hp Chrysler kicker motor after losing main power. It took us about 12 hours from Memory Rock. I REALLY like kicker motors, and I also like Chrysler. that motor ran at 90% power for 12 hours straight without a hiccup..

We didn't have Sea Tow in the dark ages either LOL, they should cover most situations. These new motors are quite reliable compared to 20 or 30 yrs ago too.

Dixon, you're not s'posed to reveal how old I really am... :D :D :D

How heavy of a motor could a guy use on the back of a 23? I am watching this thread too as my plans are to put a twin hermco bracket and an outboard on next year hopefully. I already have a kicker hanging back there. A big four stroke would be sweet but heavy. :(

Not trying to hijack the post, but I thought it pertained to the situation.

I am told by Don Herman that his twin engine bracket will float 800lbs of motor weight. Hope that helps
