frat, nope that offshore isnt the same as that v20 hull. that v20 hull is a speed hull and light. i assume that your outboard was transom mount>? this offshore you looking at is around 800 pounds hanging 2-3 foot off your transom on a bracket, so it will have some weight hanging off it plus...

frat, good luck on that I would love to hear how that twin optis perform. it would help me on my decision to go single or twins.

24 offshore, full transom, bracket, 225 no problem 40 mph EZ. get 1.9 mpg according to fuel flo. little sluggish out of the hole though, spinning a 15x17 hope this help

frat. i just got back from a 50 mile offshore excursion today. i own a 24 offshore single 225, but i went on a buddy 90 offshore 24 with twin 2002 honda 130s. yes we got banged up today. but it was more of a weight issue. his scupper was around 3 inches below the water. we had to plug the...

lofster you still there? a buddy just bought a 89 offshore with twin honda 130 i think 2002 models> the scupper was under water. we had to plug the drain hole on the deck. his scupper was about 3 inches under water when at stop. his ride was rough, we got banged up today. he got 2.2 mpg...

tyeah, we fish 30 plus miles most of the time. yeah, thinking about it.. twin is more fuel and more maint. but 5% or even 10% more is not much .(to me) Thats a small price to pay for some of the perks that you get with twins. My single runs now but I am definetly on the look out for twin 4...

wahoo, what do you get on an average fishing trip. lets say 2 other guys loaded and sea 2-3 ft. what do you get all trip? thanks

thanks guys, yea you are right for a mid 80s i cant see myself investing too much money for repowering. of course it would be nice but, i am on a boating budget.

thank you for the reply. just wanted to hear from some twin or single about their stats. Thanks again.

Hello, I have done some searching on this subject on this forum and have not found a clear answer so I was wondering if anyone reading this can help me with my questions. I currently have an 84 24' offshore with full transom and single 225OB on a bracket. I also just purchased a grady...

check out ebay, they got one in new jersey pick up only. or else i would have bought it. i amn 1500 miles away. sweet

thanks alot, i did not know they had a salt away. i am always in salty water. lets put it this way, by noon you can wipe the salt crystals on the motor and hull. i'll definetly get that quick attach. i am thinkin about 5-10 mins will be good?

does anyone know if i can put a fresh water flush adapter through my tell tale port instead of using the muffs? i heard of others doing it, but not sure if it will flush my motor since it did not come that way from the factory.

sweet!

are you running it? i dont usually get mpg readings until i enter the total gallons in tank then hook it up to the gps. when i run it, then it automatically calculates it for me. you might have trashin the bulb. try squeezing the bulb to free up any trash and see if things go back to normal...

gw204, i'm a dumb##$. what is PVA ? "I cleaned the area, sprayed two layers of PVA down and masked it off for the next step." thanks,

i got a grady because i can resell the thing and get all m money back. ofcourse my gw is old and i had to spend alot of hours on her. but well worth the self satisfaction. good luck on your journey

my forward compartment is empty. I think I am gonna make a winter project out of it. thanks for the response.

I think a solid transom can hold it. I am looking to upgrade to twins one day. That's gonna be some weight

yeah, you are right but it couldn't hurt to support it during long road trips. maybe I am just paranoid. but thanks.
