Default Re: seacraft scupper question

OBPlayer-
The reason I have a two thirsty five is that it came with the boat. The price was irresistable on the boat. 2700.
There seems to be nothing fundamentally wrong with the boat.
The gel coat is actually in good shape considering the age.
However having said that.... This boat is from the crystal river area. My theory is that the old man that owned the boat had a grandson that put this 235 on. I have a feeling that the hypothetical kid ran it onto oyster beds a few times.
The gelcoat underneath on the bottom along the center stringer is scraped to the fiberglass. There are also some gouges in it, not deep, but through the gelcoat.
I agree, I cant imagine that the 235 -a V6-is less heavy than V4's.
Thank you also for your info on the hp. I was considering putting anywhere from a 130 to a 175 E Tech on the back if I get a new engin. Sounds like the 130 will be fine. I do not care about speed, but rather dependability/feul econ. You think I would get 30kts out of the V4 130? Do you keep your batteries in the back compartment?
