Pretty nice numbers. Any one every have a 175 or even a 150hp on a 23ft Seacraft.



I never would have believed it until this past weekend, but I now actually believe those numbers. I have been messing around with my pile of spare motors. Currently I have a 1979 V200 Mercury 2.4L powerhead on a 2001 200hp mid section/lower unit (This is equivalent to a mid 80's 2.4L 175). Propped right and the motor seems to have plenty of power to push the 23 . . . the numbers above are with a full tank 70 gallons, HUGE 400+lb pilot house, 2 adults, 25hp Kicker, tons of gear.
