Most seasoned fishermen in Hawaii run diesel power (unless the boat is too small or they can't afford it) in their Classic SeaCrafts or 24' and 26' Yellowfins (modified SeaCraft hull). Aloha, Greg
Greg- Thanks for the details of your ride. Very cool modifications to consider as a strectched 23. Kerneltugboat-Thanks for the Steyr update on fuel delivery info. I got my quote on Friday and I am in sticker-shock . I am getting quotes of $26K for the 256 Steyr and VP outdrive. The quote is before shipping from Austria, and install. I am certain that Nestor's Steyr dealer quoted around $17K for the motor last year. The 26K is no-where close.
