Re: next project.
Being a Whaler nut...that hull is quite fixable but you will want a cheaper "backyard" type guy because any yard will cost a fortune. For $500 I would have bought it...would have bought 10 of them...

Re: Anclote Key Gathering 04/28/2007
I have a Whaler banner :eek:
Update: Baja has been sold for about 2 years now. All I can do is maybe 40mph in my 1976 19 Revenge(115 Suzuki 4S) on a good day. I actually might bring up my 13' if...

Re: 250 Suzuki four Stroke
Interesting point is Briguy's 23cc with twin 115 Suzis runs about identical to Trevor's 250 at all ranges and I am estimating about the same cost to rig. Tough decision.

Re: 4Stroke Question
Well....a 2-thirsty-5 OMC weighed about 375lbs back in the 80's. My 1994 OMC 225 weighs 455. A ficht 225 weighs like 520 and the Yamaha 225 weighs 580 or so. Outboards have become just like the US...

Re: twin outboards on a 20cc
Depending on the use, twin 60 Merc 4 strokes are the lightest but 120hp may not be sufficient. Twin 90 Yamaha 2 strokes at 260lbs each would be a great choice like said above. With a flotation...

Re: outboard engine weights
My 1994 225 weighs 455lbs, the 150-175 is under 400lbs. Last year a dealer by me had 2 1999 Johnson 175's BRAND NEW for $4000 each. They also had 115 Fichts for $3500. Too bad they were 25" or my 17'...
