In search of FUGLY 2

Im pretty sure it can handle the 9.9, a 6 hp would do it but i want to plan ahead for in a couple years when i upgrade again, a two stroke 70 is pretty light for a 17' Hourston, should have no problem accomodating a fourstroke 9.9, seen many 17' hourstons with 90 and 115's on them.. Hopefully it dont bog it down like fugly was with all my gear n goodies onboard.

I'm 260lbs and I can stand in the splashwell without water coming in. Boat is rated for 115hp but the 70 moves it just fine. With 3 people and full gear it still isn't bogged down.
 
In know man, im just sayin , fugly was pretty loaded down if we look back... The hourston will sit way higher.. Part of the reason i wanted a Deep V

It will be fine..... I had a 60 Envinrude on my DE and did about 25-27 knots WOT with two guys... That 70 is fine, and is very light... I also had a yammi 8 HT.. This boat is not a 16 footer ether totally different boat....Even a foot makes a huge difference with those boats..
 
Looks like i beat the rush for the boat..lol.. And thankfully i have some good reading material to get me across the Salish Sea.

As you sit in your truck listening to Interstate Love Song.

Can read it off the display :)

Hope the wallet is fat, cause your going to need it to be coming back. Should of found a friend to go with and loaded the trailer on top of the truck and ran the boat across the Salish Sea. No over height charges on the ferry anymore I believe.
 
Im only getting stroked to get it back, and i did have an SFBC member offer to being it over but i have a couple stops to make. Great day for a road trip ,and a big thank you to the SFBC member who offered to tow it over, but i preferred to be there in person for licensing and registration purposes..

No kidding! for a 17' boat, they charge the equivalent of a car and four passengers. I was looking at options to get to Thormanby Is. from Victoria. I priced out trailering to Halfmoon Bay if the weather was too windy to cross the straight. Between the two ferries it's almost $800 return for vehicle, trailer, driver and three passengers !!

Alternately, you can make friends with a BC Ferries employee, take them for the ride and get it all for free... :confused:
