Price of 20 CC

Ben,

Sorry to take so long to respond - spent the weekend fishing Walker's Cay and just got back.

My transom was questionable - the wood was soggy but those older SeaCrafts had lots of good fiberglass to compensate. I never really pushed it in a big sea and normally don't fish in the rough stuff on a 20' boat anyway.

The Honda 130 is an incredible motor, the major drawback is the weight [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] - about the same as a 225 2 stroke. Top end on the GPS is 37 to 40 mph on smooth water full tank and no head wind trimmed right. I'm running a 17 (I think) Honda SS prop and the hull is bottom painted. It doesn't seem to matter (performance) how many people are in the boat, and I usually fish with 1 or 2 other people. I like to cruise at about 25 and at that speed this motor makes gas ! I am still suprised at the fuel dock at how little fuel it uses. Trolling or at idle the motor is barely audible and it starts with 1 key stroke even if it has been sitting for a month [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] .
