Re: 23 tsunami-sell or repower?
Bobfish,
I agree with Jack. My project 23 has a 200 Yamaha and will get my tender's Honda 8 HP 4 stroke, which mounts on a stainless steel adjustable kicker mount. It pushes it at hull speed (7 mph) and I expect to get 3 mpg @ 4500 rpm, for a posible range of over 350 miles. That'll get ya home.
A set of controls can be added to sweeten the set-up. You could probably put a 15 hp on a bracket with linkage and controls for $5,000. It's a popular option in the Great Lakes for trolling and cause it's cheap.
I would guess your boat is worth between $15 and 20,000. With that cash in hand, you could consider another project, making it the way you want it.
