That's a beautiful boat for only $20K, what does she cruise at ?

That's a sweet looking ride Larry. Can't believe it will be on the market long for that price.

Was that boat ever diesel powered? I know Brian would love to move into a flybride but I think he prefers to keep his 40B engine.

Thanks Mike... It's always had a gas engine. I would have liked to put a diesel in it but I put another 5.7 when I repowered it 60 hours ago. The new vortec has a little more power and runs real quiet. I typically cruise @ 2800-3000 rpms and that usally pushes the boat at 17-21 knots depending on sea conditions. I don't think I have ever had the boat up at WOT. Goes real fast though.

I'm just not getting out like a lot of you guys and when I do, it's been surf trips up at the Point Conception area. I've got a smaller boat (17' Arima Sea Ranger) that works well for those kinda trips.

How many hours did you get from your first 5.7?

Larry
She is a beauty ....... at 20K maybe I really do need two boats .
Good luck - she should sell quick.

The last 5.7 got approximately 1675 hours out of it. It was actually running strong and on a trip up to Point Conception it broke and ceased right outside of Naples Reef. Really never looked at fixing the engine because of the hours so I just replaced it.
