Thanks for the feedback. I was mainly interested in the hull and if it was the SeaV2. Thanks again. :wink:

Can anyone tell me about this boat year/model/hull? It is not the SV2 hull since that started in the early 90's correct? Thanks

Guys, Thanks for the feedback, I really do appreciate all of it. I feel like an idiot because it never crossed my mind that GW was possibly talking about twins to get to 300hp but I was also talking about the 242G with the bracket. Is the bracket designed to handle twin 150's, I don't know...

I know this subject has been discussed many times so please bear with me. In 1988 the 24 offshore was rated for a 300 hp outboard according to the catalog online. This is a little puzzling to me since nobody was making a 300 hp outboard in 88 that I am aware of, so was GW just guessing at...

repower You guys are scaring me now with the whole transom strength and four strokes not being able to exhaust properly etc... I guess I need to rethink my options. One of the bigger reasons I wanted to re-power an older boat with a 4 stroke is the noise factor. Being a boater my whole...

Excellent food for thought guys and I will consider all of it. Ultimately I am targeting the, Seafearer 228G, Explorer 246G and the HS 23 WAC (1999 and newer since it has bracket with full transom as well). Would the same transom rot/weight issues exist with the bracket models? Planning to go...

Hi Grog, I know what you are saying but my experience in going on some of my buddy's boats (with new 4 strokes), is that I will not be using about 20-30 gallons in additional fuel (that my former 2 stroke used) on our average trip. At 4.00 a gallon, (more in the years to come), that can add...

Since it is clear to me that gas prices will never return to where they once were and will only go higher, I am thinking I will be much better off cost wise and down the road with an older hull that could use re-powering as opposed to a 5-10 year old boat with a carbed 2 stroke. So, I am...
