Put your dang trowel down, git outta' them mud boots and bring the "Little Red Rooster" to Homosassa, Bud! You'er waist'in yur life away trying to cover Charlotte County with concrete, son. Greed will git ya'!

Mr. Bushwacker, Mr. Bushwacker, oh.....Mr. Bushwacker,
72potter20 is making fun of me again.
Gee Willikers, don't he know I is a product of da' Pinellas County School System!
So their.....or they'er......or I mean there.

72potter20, have you ever been to one of those NOAA Marine Fisheries "Public Outreach" meetings where 576 people get up and say "your new program stinks and 4 say we love it"? Then they vote with the four, because that's what Roy Crabtree wanted them to do anyway, but they had their "Public Hearing" so there is an appearance "of process", although it was meaningless.
Well occasionally someone will ask something on this forum like "Is anyone running one of those 225 flat 6 opposed, turbocharged, intercooled two stroke diesel, jet drive C- Kings, I'm JUST THINKING about putting one on the back of my 18"? Then 39 members chime in with all the many reasons the C-King would make a better anchor than aquatic drive system. A week or two later, after stirring up a hornets nest emulsion of mechanical engineering, thermo dynamics, and propellor disc surface theory, it is pronounced that "I went with the C-King and it is awesome!". Well maybe he wanted a C-King all along, but wanted to have an "appearance of process" by which he could report that "I ckecked with the Guys on the Classic Seacraft Site and they were like thumbs up".
Everybody builds pretty good motors these days, pick a color, bolt it on and go fishing - you'll be fine. Of course I'd get a lifetime membership in Sea Tow, if I got the C-King!
Now I'll go back down on the bottom of this forum where I belong and sulk.

I might show up.
This has been my best year since 05. It's not greed; it's going for 4 years with nothing but little sidewalks and a.c. pads that I practically had to give away...
I did cancel today's pour because of the rain that's still sitting out in the gulf.

I need to finish this cycle and go through at least one more of the "good times" before I can relax a little.

Maybe a bay boat it is fine but you have to think about the torque needed to hold plane in seas and the overall requirements for load on a day offshore. Would it work... sure but it isn't going to be impressive at the least.

1. Max HP on a 23' cc was 400 hp.
2. I fish hardcore in South Florida and run to the Bahamas. Never has my boat been a dog even fully loaded with 100 gallons on board.
