Time to splash
 

Painted- repaired from Sandy- and ready to splash tomorrow

Looks good! How's it run with that 175?

Thanks for comments.

Runs nice with the 175 but in hindsight, probably should have gone with 200 Etec. Seems a bit underpowered to me but just changed props to a Merc Enertia so very curious to see if that helps. I'll let you know as soon as I can get out and run it.

How did you correct my pic? Almost every time I try to post a pic from my cell phone it goes sideways even though that is not the way I took it on phone- couldn't figure out how to rotate it on here?

When you get it dailed please post some performance numbers. I went with a etec 150 for my 18. Long term it's going to probably end up on a 20.

What year's that hull?

I didn't realize the 175/200 25" etecs are only 433 lbs. I'll have to keep that 200 in mind when my 175 opti dies. I see they come with a 1:1.85 ratio, what pitch Enertia are you running? Is it the 3 blade in the picture?

The Enertia is a 15 pitch - yes, it's the 3 blade in the photo.

The hull is a 2000- I bought as a leftover in 2001.

Yes,the E-tecs are light which was exactly why I went with one versus a four stroke- didn't want to re-up with Merc after Opti issues.

Will post Etec numbers once I get going this season.
Thanks!
