my 23 inboard

Well after almost 2 years my 23 inboard is almost done. She was stripped down to a bare hull and built back up to a nearly new boat. I still need to decide on the top so anyone with ideas fire away..

here are a few before and after shots

It has a 5.7 Crusader with a BW 1.5-1. and a 17x17 prop. runs great with this set up.

What kind of speed and hp do you have?

I cruise at 3100 rpm is 28-29mph on gps. Tops out at 38mph at 4400-4500. I also ran it with a 16x16 4 blade and it cruised at 26-27 at 3100 BUT topped out at 39mph AT 4600. That is with about 50 gallons of fuel and not loaded up with all my gear.
