that good price would need to be basically free. cheaper to go to a bracket and add an old single 2stroke than the bottomless pit that inboard setup would tend to be.

found this thread and i may be overestimating the impact of the extra cabin weight on a seafarer vs a tournament even though it is the same hull. the f225 owners all seem to be very low 40s. the lone f250 owner reports 46 mph but he also had the boat listed for sale and boats that are for sale...

23% is bad but not ridiculous. unless you are also seeing the 33% the op is seeing at 4000rpm and weird fuel consumption, i think it could just be a matter of adjusting your engine mount height higher. try moving it up one or maybe two holes. if that works and you get down to a slip closer to...

it seems the old lapstrake styled boats will never be worth much even if perfect, but if you have time it could be a decent boat. for now it's a project of unknown extent. the various rust stains on the transom suggest water has gotten into the transom. so i'd assume it needs a new transom...

hey there. that's an early to mid 1990s johnson 200. i own the evinrude verstion of that exact motor and it is a solid hard to kill motor once it is set up right. my main concern is that looks to be an xl motor (25" leg) fitted to a long leg (20") transom. photos can be deceiving so you...

if you are interested i checked my amazon history and these are the covers i use on my 190 with one purchased in 2015 and one in 2016. it is decent quality and i have found them to be waterproof. i think it would fit your 205. they should be long enough for the 205 as they fit over my outboard...

on the other end of the scale my email flyer today tells me west marine has a dual branded bluetooth enabled marine stereo with 2 speakers on sale for $69, or $59 for just the head unit. no fishfinder control feature like the fusion, but with bluetooth it will work with phones.

it looks good. good idea with only fixing one hole if you are sure the other one is going seal up ok. i would not bother with any fibreglass tape here. i would just fill the hole from the inside with any epoxy filler (even marinetex) and let it set. there will be a big piece of wood...

good luck with this. it took me a while to get to a happy place. i live in canada. i looked at the fisher, and was skeptical of the cost so i decided to go with a conventional cover but the problem is adequate support everywhere so you don't get pockets of snow that melt and stretch or tear...

fusion sells a "din cover" mount made of black starboard that fits over a standard car stereo sized mount hole and allows you to easily mount a fusion unit in a larger hole. i have one on order. they are about $15. the main attraction of fusion is you can connect it to an nmea 2000 network...

just bumping this so i can find it tonight and contact the vendor

looks very nice. so is that hdpe or some kind of vinyl?

what is the year of your motor, your gps speed at different rpms (especially 6100) and what is your prop pitch? we need to figure out the prop slip. your situation could be a rev limiter kicking in because you are underpropped. it could also be an engine hung at the wrong height relative to...

you mount a jackplate at the normal height for a 25" motor and then adjust it normally. the jack plate does not care how high your transom is. you would mount any outboard bracket or jackplate a certain recommended distance up from any keel to fit a 25" motor. forget the transom height, just...

i think their rigging charge is pretty revealing. i can de-rig and remove a motor in about an hour in my home garage and it would take me maybe another hour to pull back all the wiring out of the way to clear the entire transom area for action. i am not fast and the job is faster with two...

this is moot since i realized the boat he is looking at has a bracket not a transom. i don't know if you can install a 10" jack plate on a bracket. seems a bit extreme. but if we assume he had a 30" transom i think the jackplate works without lowering anything. he could install the jack plate...

i see reading more carefully now you don't mention the year of your motor that i thought was a 2007. are your existing gauges taking the data feed from the engine computer? that would change my assessment a little. on an older rig the fuel flow and tach would be measuring two totally...

whoops, just realized you are talking about a bracket. disregard the previous post. assuming it is a factory install you need to talk to grady.

measure from the top of the transom to the keel at dead centre of the transom. if it is 25" you are fine. if it is 30" then you could maybe use a 10" jackplate to mount a 25" leg without notching the transom but it's tricky. i say this because usually a 10" jackplate is about 5" higher than...

can't answer your bracket height question but isn't an offshore a stretched seafarer with a 2' longer cockpit? if it is then then i think a 225 will work fine but will not be a speed demon due to the weight. you will likely need to drop to a 15" pitch prop and settle for a top speed in the...
