worn out 150's

Replaced the worst of the pair with another i had that was in real good shape and went fishing. I have started the teardown on the on the removed motor also and a little reserch on the motors to find that they have 85 power heads on them, that makes me a little happier the titles for the motors say 1980 so atleast they have been thur at least once.

Just as a side note to this topic. I was talking with the gentleman who was New Jersey largest Sea Craft dealer a few days ago and his comment on this topic was that the 23 was at its best with twin OMC V-4's and he sold more Sea Crafts then anyone else... BTW he's a member of this site..

Thanks for the response I felt that the 4cyl's would have worked fine for me but in keeping the 150's I will be able to still fish and spend the cash on some cosmetics namely the soft hatches. I also will be rebuilding the transom soon and closing it up and building a custom bracket the money I saved buy not buying the 4cyls will pay for all the transom materials and the aluminum for the bracket.
I get to see and work with lots of different power/boat configurations at the salvage yard and even though never any sc's w/4cyl's but our 26 boston whaler guardian came with looper 140's and would run 38mph loaded and by the way the guardian's hull is 4inches thick, although i don't have its weight its a very heavy load behind the f350 truck we pull it with. Also ive seen several grady's with the x-flow 4 cyl's on 20 to 25 ft boats that all seemed to preform acceptably.
