Guys, I recently installed twin DF175 Suzuki's on a 91 Sailfish w/ a bracket. I dont have exact numbers yet, however I can tell you that fuel efficiency is wonderful now. My old 2 Stroke Johnson's earned their keep. But now with the 4strokes she a completley different boat. I was initially...

I replaced both tanks, The total cost was $1800. The reason I was so impressed with these guys were. I picked up the tanks myself. The guys gave me directions, followed up to make sure I found them while traveling. When I got there they gave we a tour of their shop, showed me the entire...

Jenny Ann, Contact the National Vessel Documentation Center. They will guide you thru the process. The USCG has a formula that determines the GW. There is an online form that allows you to enter the spec's of your vessel and this determines your GW. Also you can contact Grady White (excellent...

Guys, I'm DONE! :D I have got the old sailfish repowered with the new twins. DF-175's. I have to say its a new boat. At least a 50% savings in fuel :shock: compared to the Old Johnny's (200). She now sips the fuel. Quite, I cant believe the difference in the noise level. I have to con't...

Tunacious D, She's a 91 sailfish w/ a bracket. I'll get some pics this weekend. I went with the Suzuki's for a number of reasons. 1. Warranty 2. Cost 3. Reliability ( not to say others werent) 4. I wanted a 4 stroke for many reasons. (i.e, I wanted the space where the exsiting tanks...

Guys, I finally pulled the trigger on the repower. Decided to go with twin Suzuki DF175's on the Sailfish. I'm replacing the fuel tanks also. Decided to go with Patriot Marine Tanks. BTW, Thanks Jimmy for the contact, the guys were great. I'm replacing everything from the helm station back...

Guys, Thanks to everyone for all of the excellent info. Sinclair :D

Everyone: Thank you for your help. Great information!!! That's why I use this board. Sinclair :D

Bob, I know how to determine the difference between structural failure and cosmetic corrosion. :D I have not had the opportunity to pull and inspect the tanks either. Once I have, I will make a decision whether the tanks need replaced. 17 years in a harsh saltwater enviroment is...

Capt. Kenny, Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know if they are USCG Certified?? Thanks, Sinclair :D

Guys, Here's the exact weight. Honda 200 H.P = 588lbs x 2 = 1,176lbs. Evinrude ETEC H.P = 430lbs x 2 = 860lbs The difference is 360lbs. I have spoke with Grady all day about this and they assure me that putting the addtional weight isnt wise. I'm not really wanting to cause a safety...

BTW, To add to saga, I'm also replacing the thru-hulls also :shock: :shock: Sinclair

Thanks guys for all of the help. :D My first choice is a Honda 200 4 stroke. I have had some experience with these motors and I love them. It looks like now with the weight issue, I'm undecided between the HPDI and the ETEC's. I'll keep everyone informed as I venture thru the repower...

Guys, Thanks for the info. With the repower and the price of new engines. I want to replace all of the electrical sytems along with the gas tanks. My reasoning is that the boat is now going on 17 years. Its proven its worth. I can afford to buy a new boat, however I want to make this one...
