1993 23' boston whaler WA hull

[Fishtank]

Plus a trailer,downriggers,electronics it all starts to add up,trust me...

To rig the boat right with new canvas, power and electronics you are looking at 30-35K. I would ditch the twin idea and just run a big single like a 250 or 300.

 

[Sculpin]

The single would be the cheaper way to go but RPM has a killer deal on new old stock 135 opti's. I think they have 2 in stock. That thing would be pretty sweet with twins.

I can't believe nobody has scooped it up yet. Good luck with the sale Mike.

 

[mikep]

Yeah either can I price is about as low as I can go but it is a project and the market is pretty small. The Opti's would be ideal for this boat as it was built during the 2 stroke era and a little less weight on the transom is a good thing.

Curious to see what he will do that is a great bones project.
also
courious as to why the power and electronics was taken off after 93 hrs?

 

[mikep]

the little black cap on top of the merc oil tank inside the engine developed a hairline crack. I am guessing this deoiled the engine allowing #3 piston to weld itself to the cylinder, throwing a rod through the block...When I pulled the heads off the engine to take a look all of the other cylinders looked soooo mint. Sad really. My buddy now has the running 150 in kitimat where hopefully it will live a long life especially with an entire parts engine....I am not sure what the guys plans are for the boat.
