Nice boat yourself! The 115hp is really nice. I had an older Evinrude 140 on it prior and I can say that I lost nothing with the 115. I have just standard analog gauges mounted WOT i was pushing 6000 on the tach and getting into the mid 30's on the gps....It really likes cruising at around 4800-5200, which is a little under the suggested cruising range but it is what feels good for the boat, speed is like 28-30 and just purring! What I like most is response the motor has in seas......really fun! Thanks for passing along the message.

It has been a few weeks since I was last on the forum.....The Boat is still for sale for any interested parties. I open to offers.....price, hull only, trade.....
There are more pictures of the boat up on popyachts.com, just type in seacraft and it should come up. I hope somebody out there can make this boat theirs and give it a good home. |

Just my humble opinion Robert, but that is actually the perfect motor for that boat. Transom mounted, light weight and puts out 129 shaft HP at the prop. I see a lot of nice boats on this site, but I think that is a perfect balance of usable deck space, overnight capabilities, dry ride, 6 cylinder tow vehicle, 4 mpg fuel burn rate with the world renowned Seacraft VDH ride. It's in good condition with all the right canvas. I think if you bolt on a 115 two stroke Yamaha you would have the same weight and loose 1.5 MPG and 4 MPH - anything else gets you further in debt. Don't mess with success - it's just about perfect. Ask Denny (Bushwacker) - he has 7,358 miles on the odometer in his 20' Safari.

So the Etec is no longer part of the deal?
Curious about the specific prop you had on the Etec and how high the motor was mounted (anti-cav. plate relative to keel when parallel)?

So the Prop is a Solas Saturn 13 3/4 X 15. The cavitation plate sits approximately 2 inches above the bottom of the keel. The motor is still part of the deal.....It seems like alot of people think the motor is to small! Many people think you have to have 150 or better....the boat is perfect with that motor. That is the only prop I have tried on it. It feels like it gets a little wound out and with a different prop I might be able to get a little more speed out of the boat, but I love how handles in seas and how responsive it is to throttle. It goes plenty fast for me and I reckon most people. I really love the boat. We have great weather this weekend for camping and I plan on spending a few nights on it for sure. Just not getting the use and I hate to see it not get used, but I sure love to use it. When is the next gathering by the way? I saw something about it being in Cayo Costa?

Etec are very powerful motors they are not like the older outboards. The full economy on this setup must be great. That motor is perfect for that boat you don't need any more power.
