Strick,
I love the 140 Suzuki, 400 hrs without a hiccup. My boat isn't in the same league as yours, it's alittle on the rough side, but fully functional. I've been chipping away at my restoration with fishing/diving/family outtings mixed in. I am thinking in a year or two to hunt down a 23cc hull and do it your way. Then I can go to Seacraft heaven!
Looking forward to your next progress report!
