Re: repower
If the floor is original (height) and you don't intend to raise it, I would put the lightest engine I could find on there. A 130 Yamaha Saltwater Series 2-stroke will push those boats pretty good - it's what mine had before the redo and they aren't real heavy.
A 150 four stroke Yamaha, for the 20" shaft, weighs 466#s. If you have a 25" transom, that figure goes up in weight.
If you do leave the floor where it is, and put a four stroke engine on there in that weight range, you WILL need plugs in your scuppers and it will not be a self bailing boat except when underway. Sadly, I know this from experience [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
