Hey Botapeje, You are turning a 19 x 13.75. Ok, sounds good. I think I'll go with that. Since mine is a little older motor (still with low hours) I think I'll stay with the aluminum wheel vice the stainless. Just to give it a little more slip and try not to load the motor. I usually don't run the boat much over 20knots now, the sea-state does not generally allow for it. Besides, if I needed to get there faster, I should have left 15 minutes earlier. LOL. I usually run mine pretty light (full fuel, but light people and gear). It sounds like that 19 should work ok, unless they make an 18.

I'm actually located in eastern CT (New London)and use the boat on Long Island sound, but it has MS registration #'s (house on the cape, this is the CT boat, cheaper to register there). I'm actually the third owener of this boat. The original owner was in SC, and the boat was indoor rack stored up until about 4 years ago, teh second owner ran it for about 20hrs, shrink wrapped and put away until late winter this year. I use all the original canvas and cushions. I ripped out all the wiring and original power (raw water cooled motor). The boat has never been technically "restored", but it is in better shape than anything we could find that was under 5 years old. Besides, now I have got something that is worth something.... Happy to show it to you. I'll see if I can get a couple of pictures. Thanks for the help everybody!!
