23 CC rebuild - shine

[shine]

Wow, build me a replica? Haha

Well, let me use it for a while, then maybe it will go up for sale.

Ran her for about 60 miles over the weekend, burned 1/3 tank (approximately 18 gallons). Will not know for sure, but I think Im around 3.3 miles per gallon. She definately need more prop, Im getting it all the way to 6000 rpm with 3 guys, one tank full, and some ice/gear on board, and there is still room on the throttle. Will try a 19 next. At 4200 rpm Im at 27 mph, I would like to get the same cruise with a little lower RPM.

Im not sure I will ever use the second 55 gallon tank unless Im going to Bahamas. If I do even re-power with a 300 or twin 150's the extra fuel capacity will be needed. Most trips I plan to use this boat for are going to be under 60 miles round trip.



shot a few mangroves and got some blood on her !
