Default Re: '76 20'cc in MD

Hi Matt

Sorry for the late reply, hope you see it.

Glad to hear MANGO is a real 74. Restore her - she'll be as good or better built than anything else out there - and she'll definitly ride better than ANYTHING in her size class.

Only thing I question- you're going to put a 4 Cylinder engine in her ??? Otterly Cool has a 5.7 liter mercruiser ( 8 cylinder 350 chevy block)at either 250 or 260 HP with a Bravo 2 Drive. She's a bit over-propped at the moment and only gets about 36- 37 MPH. When I finish her and get the right prop she should do 40-41. Considering this performance with an 8 I don't think you or Jodi will be happy with a 4 - and you'll probably use the engine up pretty quickly.

Good luck and keep me advised.

20sf I/O ,
I have one that went on a three hour tour. Runs great. I have figured out that I need a 14x19 3 bladed prop on her, to get the RPMS perfect.

With 4 people,2 in the bow and 2 at the console she planed quick. What a killer ride in a head sea.

This spring I will have electronics on her so I can update the speed and performance numbers.
I also plan to keep her as an I/0.

Just started changing the steering and stripping the old paint off the bottom.

Just my two cents worth.

tight lines,
JW
