25' Topaz Questions---yes not a Seacraft but need advice!!!!!

[eggsuckindog]

Maybe 250 but 300 better but 225 would be extremely weak IMHO - the boat was run with 300. You want a boat or a trawler

I agree that a single engine might not be enough even with a 300hp
Get your self a pair of 200's and I think you will be happier.
And you would have a boat to drool over
Don't regret doing it and coming up short on the power

I hope your wife likes it so you don't have to sleep on the boat...LOL

But then here I am spending your money!!!

Thanks all for the input...I have to do stringer work etc to this boat...neat thing about the topaz is the whole sole lifts up in aft...
Boat going directly to storage...so wife will not know about it until I tell her (when she is in a good mood!!!)

More input appreciated about power!!!!

Thanks

There is a 24 here. Stunning inboard with tower like Snooky posted.

Fred, are all munitions under lock and key? Does ACME deliver to PSL? Do you have full kevlar?
