Look what I found . I'm not allowed to paste a "For Sale" ad


Twin Merc 300xs (which I think are known to put out 320hp on dyno) on a 23cc!?

Owner claims 84kts.

Seems to sit ok with that weight on bracket.

Not sure I want to steer it at 80+ mph with vise grips for a steering "lever"!!!! :)

Well Michael, here's the deal. When I was younger I wouldn't be scared at all, however when you get to be an old fart good sense and the fear of getting your guts splattered all over the water overrides questionable adventures. :)

Speculate cruise is therefore around 55 mph, guessing fuel burn around 25 p/hr.

Plus extra fuel for the roostertail 😁

That speed equates to 96mph.... sorry I'm calling BS. There are equally powered hulls out there that are built for speed that don't get near that.

You woosie......:rolleyes:

Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, whats one more pair of vise grips to
go 90++ MPH...:eek:

Two pairs on that SeaStar is all that would be needed to keep a straight
line in the ICW !! :p:D

Your guts being splattered all over a channel marker would not matter
at this point....:cool:

Agreed Don & Mike
Btw: Rooster Tail by way of jack plates.
Way too much weight on that fantail. :rolleyes:

With all due respect Ken...
I took the hook out of my 20 SF when re-habbing and bolted
a heavily modified 200 HP carbed Merc that hits 64 MPH with
a light load at top end WOT !!!

So a 23 with more then three times the ponnies doing 90 MPH is
not out of range...

Just my 2¢ worth...:)
