Hi Matt

Sorry for the late reply, hope you see it.

Glad to hear MANGO is a real 74. Restore her - she'll be as good or better built than anything else out there - and she'll definitly ride better than ANYTHING in her size class.

Only thing I question- you're going to put a 4 Cylinder engine in her ??? Otterly Cool has a 5.7 liter mercruiser ( 8 cylinder 350 chevy block)at either 250 or 260 HP with a Bravo 2 Drive. She's a bit over-propped at the moment and only gets about 36- 37 MPH. When I finish her and get the right prop she should do 40-41. Considering this performance with an 8 I don't think you or Jodi will be happy with a 4 - and you'll probably use the engine up pretty quickly.

Good luck and keep me advised.
