as for my 150's, I don't know the stats, I have fished the boat many times with my buddy and recently purchased it from him. He was never concerned with stats , He used it for a Taxi cab to his house in Grand, Ba for many years and had it always fully loaded. He had the transom completed with Armstrong bracket , new 142 gallon tank moved all the way forward to the step . He always kept 6 gallons in the 5 gal bucket....these boats will handle the load.
I just removed the top and console and will be replacing the original floor. Hope to remove the top layer and core, add some aluminum plate for fastening top and console, and raise deck with Nidacore or like 2" higher. will report back on the stats hopefully in about 3 months......they do have the same props as yours. Plan to use for a couple years and repower with 200's down the road.
I have been lurking around this site for years and the yellow boat I have is actually a 2nd 23' 1973 boat with a single Armstrong, which I acquired about 2 years ago and completely gutted. Originally was the "Reel Smoker" from south Florida and Keys , I believe it's transom Armstrong conversion rebuild was on this site many years ago. I plan on getting the white boat, with dual 150's, useable , with not much time spent on cosmetics , and ready for use this spring. then starting the complete redo of the yellow one with my daughter and new husband.
Thanks everyone with sharing this wealth of knowledge, I got a lot of work to do
