Default Re: Inboard SeaCrafts

I gutted a 1975 IB and redid it. The 23' IB is a good sea boat, but not much for speed, its a 22/23 k cruise 29 WOT. You can plane off at 19 knots and hunker down when it gets sporty and she'll get you home without kicking your teeth in. I was leaning Yanmar but the cost is big, I'd look at the Merc 6.2 MPI as a good compromise.If you were to try the offshore/nearshore run, the diesel makes sense for reliability reasons as your a single. Don't give Finster any tips...
