Default Re: 23 Sceptre project

I have a 96 Merc 225 o/b on a bracket on my 73 Tsunami. It's not a speed demon by any means but that's compared to my previous boat which was a 21' bowrider with a V8 I/O. That boat got to about 50 mph and change. I've gotten the Tsunami over 40 mph though which is plenty respectable. Plus, I haven't really learned how to trim this boat out yet. I'm still on the steep part of the learning curve with this boat. It does suck a lot of fuel though. If I were to repower, I'd go for a 250 but the 225 is perfectly adequate.

I love to see another Tsunami/Sceptre on here.
