Re: Twin Yamaha F115s on a bracketted 23'?
Thanks for the replies. Capt. Chuck, it is good to hear from you. It has been too long. I have been good but have not been using the boat like she deserves. I went back to school and got a degree in yacht design up in Maine and went to work for Scout Boats as a product/design engineer. I am now with another company but still working with boats. The seacraft bug has grown into a career path.
The deal on the 115s is a good one and they will be cheaper than a single engine. The bracket is ready for them as is and the steering and power is already run. My boat wouldn't plane off with one 200 so that isn't a huge issue to me (not propped for that). You would still be able to make it home with a single 115. I can do some of the rigging myself and have a buddy from Scout to help out as well. I can also get good pricing on the yamaha binnacle, props, throttle cable, gauges, ect...
I am having trouble finding a single 30" F250 and yamaha is what sells around here. Also, I would have to have some welding done on the bracket and fill holes in the dash for gauges. Do you guys think I would be better off just listing the hull and trailer or re-powering with these F115s??
Thanks Again!!
