    Cool boat. Enclosed transom is nice. I was skeptical when I started reading your saga, but you’re doing all the right things and you’re handy. Congrats and tight lines.

    Marlin guys, prop question

    SWS II props at 17 will most likely give you best performance.

    Marlin guys, prop question

    This is right. Get the SWS II props as above. You should hit 5700-5800. I had Mercury props on mine 19s. When I put on the above, what a difference.

    Cracked Fiberglass Near Transom

    Those cracks are scary. I would want to run that boat in that condition. Yes. The four strokes technically are too heavy for that transom. Your scuppers are probably below the water line or lower than they were. I'd have a moisture reading done as well as the sounding with a mallet. Compare...

    Prop Question for Marlin w/ F 250

    I have a 92 Marlin with 2005 F 250s. Running them with a Mercury Mirage 17 in pitch and 15 1/4 diameter. I don't feel I'm getting the proper speed or fuel burn. Anyone with a similar boat have some suggestions on props. Looking at the SWS II, which I see on most Yamaha engines.

    Opinion on purchase of 204 Fisherman

    I have put down a deposit on a 1986 GW 204 Fisherman. The motor is a 2000 HPDI 200. It only has 140 hours on it. A Yammie tech put the computer on it. No fault codes, no warranty issues. The hull is another story. There is delimitation of plywood on starboard side of anchor locker. The...

    Two 150s or One 250 on Center Console
