1973 Tsunami 23' - New Buy - Work Started

[bigeasy1]

I went with a 5.7 260hp with an Alpha drive in my Tsunami.I bought another boat for the engine and drive,because it saved me a lot of money.
Having said that,if money was no object,then I would go with a 300 hp engine and a Mercruiser Bravo III , or Volvo Duo prop.
Maybe it's the extra weight on mine from the downriggers and kicker motor,but I top out at about 36 mph at wide open throttle spinning a 15-1/2x17 Mirage plus ss prop.My cruise speed is around 25 mph at 3500 rpms
The extra horsepower won't hurt and these Tsunami/Sceptre models squat a bit in the stern.and the dual props will get you a better top speed and much easier slow speed control,especially when docking or in backing into a slip.
