Alright, circling back to this after a significant amount of time away (been a super busy summer). I finally repowered - a guy down the street from me was replacing his twin 150 yamaha 2 strokes with a pair of 4 strokes. He did a lot of offshore fishing and these guys were just too hard on gas. I scooped up the starboard engine for a good price and had it put on. I also had some new canvas cut and my father and I installed the new top on Labor Day weekend. After about 4 hours of purple power, Mary Kate on/off, comet and elbow grease I finally got the boat in respectable condition after spending the last 5 years in dry storage.
Ran like a charm - has a ton of get up and go. Don't have exact numbers but tops out around 5,000RPM MOVING. Was a windy Labor Day weekend on the east coast and she took the sea with no hesitation and not a single drop on captain or first mate. Incredibly dry and comfortable boat for the conditions. Will continue to update as progress is realized. For now enjoy the current pictures.
