Re: Diesel I/O opinions?
Ed- that's Captain Tom Mlezco's "Bluedog", and I believe it's a Yanmar/ Mercruiser. I've asked my friend Nat, one of the Captains who runs the boat, and he said it's a great setup. They have quite the fleet- the 24' Rampage, two 29' Crosby Hawks, and an 18' Maritime skiff.
I should be splashing my new (1970) I/O Seafari this weekend, which will be the beginning of my I/O experience. This is a 3.0 gas engine, and I'm anxious to see how the I/O thing works out for me, as well as how a cuddy cabin works out for fishing. I'm currently fishing with a Maritime Skiff cc 18' flats boat. This winter I'm going to keep my eye out for 23' Sceptre/Tsunamis, and the diesel I/O repower option looks tempting.
By the way, Anyone know if there were any 23' Tsunami/Sceptre inboards? All I see for inboards in 23' is the CC.
Steve
