23CC Potter Repower
I am going to repower this spring and have a few questions for "the collective wisdom."
The vessel: A 1977 23 Center Console with the original transom (25") currently fitted with twin 120hp Force. I have located a 250hp 2002 Evinrude Direct Injection with a 25" shaft and an available 5" aftermarket extension. 0 hours since a powerhead rebuild and a good lower unit. Price $6,500. My questions are: Is this the right power? Too much? Too little? I know this is after the FICHT fiasco, but do any of you have experience with this motor? The motor is owned by the local Evinrude dealer where it was rebuilt. The extension originally came with the motor, but was deinstalled as part of the rework. Do I trust the extension, or should I look for a true 30" shaft? What else should I be asking?

Re: 23CC Potter Repower
I am installing a 250 1999 Johnson on my Seacraft, came off of a Seacraft and was a good motor. It has a 25" shaft and only about 350 hours. The owner is installing a 300 ETEC.

IMHO my 250 Yam. OX66 (on bracket) is not quite enough. I will probably go with Suzi 300 at repower.

Re: 23CC Potter Repower
I have had a 225 Yam OX 66 on the transom since 2002 and have been very happy with it. It seems to me that weather conditions keep me in the 3400 to 4200 rpm range all the time. That’s between the 22 to 30 something MPR range. If I were to re power I would go with a 250 or possibly 300 hp not so much because I need the power but because of the “COOL RIG SYNDROME” most guys are infected with, some more than others.
