Seacraft and Bonanza
McGillicuddy,
Yup...Bonanza is short on cabin, but has more deck room. I've heard a few horror stories about the transom and balsa core of the Bonanza. The thing is, I'm really looking for the best engine that hopefully has a nice boat attached to it.  Here's a pic of the Bonanza transom. It passed the "engine shake" test. The owner took real nice care of it. He actually cared for it more than the Seacraft guy cared for his Seafari.

I'd respectfully suggest that your priorities are screwed up! Motors are EASY to change and good used motors of that vintage are pretty cheap! Big Shrimpin could probably find you a good fresh water motor for that boat, especially if it's a 20" transom! Good boats, however, are not so easy to find or change! I'd take a ride in that Seafari before I put any money down on that Bonanza! BTW, a 15 x 17 prop doesn't sound right (I'm running a 4 blade 15 x 15 on my 150!) A 13 1/2" diameter would be about right, so measure the radius of one blade on it if you get a chance. Denny
