gaulois - Roy's Zancudo Lodge in Golfito Costa Rica has 10 boats powered by twin Suzuki 115's. They claimed to be logging 2000+ hours on the motors w/o any problems (that was a year ago) and cut fuel consumption numbers in half.

You might email them and get details.

here are some pics of the back of my 1971 20'. because it had duals the transom opening is very large. I have had waves crash in and taken on alot of water in rough seas while reversing and never had a problem. Water comes in hits spash door and gones out. A few times I had water come in with door down but still drianed out.

Would you have a picture showing the stern, from the inside, with a larger / wider view - showing the whole rear end from side to side - preferably with the cockpit floor in the forground ? Are there any seats, or other enclosure, either side of the motor cutout/ splashwell area ?

That would be appreciated -

I'm noting that it looks like your double wide motor cutout, is even wider than Nicks, whom I thought had the double wide, but still has seats on either side, as opposed to mine being the single wide motor cutout - interesting variations

Thanks

I have this one,

[oldbluesplayer]

just the shot I was looking for !!!

That makes three variations on 20' Seafari sterns -

yours I'll call a wide double, no seats/boxes adjacent

Nicks is a narrow double, with adjacent seat boxes

and mine is a single, with adjacent seat boxes

Curious. Yes, with that much exposure in the rear, I can imagine you've taken a few across the stern, and from the last pic, I see you still have the original thru hull scuppers intact, and you report they've worked fine.

I'd be interested to know, and probably Galois would, how yours performs with that Suzi 115 ?

Thanks

Bill,

I think my stern is the same as yours?


I would say mine and yours are the single/ adj boxes and Mike's is certainly open for a double.( I would call it the NE tuna door option! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

I wonder if the double option was on early years only and then went to the single only on later years? Mine is a 1979.

Does that leave only 2 original transom outboard configs for the 20' Seafari?
