Outboard Options for Classic 20

[BigLew]

McGillicuddy, it isn't just our SeaCraft that is a Classic! Our keelboat fleet is actually quite a bit older. We have five 30' Shields, which are a motor-less inshore racer/knock-about, basically just a scaled down version of the meter class America's Cup boats. They were made by ChrisCraft. We are Fleet #20, Cal. State Long Beach. It has been a long project, but we have been restoring these sailing classics to their former glory as well.

Shields hull #10 (yes, 10!) with the Seacraft in the background:

OK,OK, I'm going back to school to San Diego State and joining the sailing team. Those are beautiful boats and certainly deserve the refurb efforts.

I don't know about your Conference's boats, but I STRONGLY suspect that your fleet is the most classic of the bunch! I crewed for Ann Boyd, past National Jr. Champ in Y-Flyers. We sailed 505's when I was in school with her.

I think a 90 is too small a 115 might work OK but not sure you save any weight. The Etec is a the cleanest greenest of them all with latest tech out there, no problem in CA unless they ban outboards which is possible. The 130 is really perfect on the boat, all new ones were rigged with 150 Mercs at my shop and we were big, that 130 I'm sure would equal.
