I live on Lake Conroe ,Texas I have a bay house in Rockport , Texas Iam a fulltime Paramedic for 18 yrs and Police Officer. I started this boat trading game about 15 yrs ago. I have a Mercury Cert. I opened my own business about 4 yrs ago doing boat repair and building Alum trailers and hardware. I prefer straight inboards but I couldnt let this old girl go down any more. Its a 1989 23 CC needs a new transom but the rest of her hull is still strong and shiny. it has a 225 Merc that is dead and Iam thinking about a pair of 90 or 115 Mercs on the back of her I will get up some picks soon.

Way more HP needed - you need at least 300 with twins but big singles work better 225 and up- up is better

If you have children have them help post pics to photobucket. If not pray real hard and ask for help. I finally accessed your referenced website. Nice site. I need to get with you on your trailers. Great to have another Seacraft owner in the Houston area. There are alot of these crafts here but not many members of this website. Lets get in touch.

Another Houston area member...I have returned to Texas from Florida after 6 years (in exile)!
With three boys under 5 I am looking forward to fishing Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston for the next few years.

I think a pair of 115's, or 130's will work fine. The problem is weight. Modern 115's are all nearly 400 lbs, even the new Etecs. Twin Etec 115's or Optimax 115's will certainly be adequate power. However, I agree with the idea of a single motor in the 250-300 hp range as a better choice, as long as you add a reliable 8-15 hp kicker motor for long runs offshore.
