"Scott - my wife reminded me - it was $800.00 I gave for everything on that purchase - the engine and the complete outdrive.
I am afraid that 150HP is not going to accomplish what I need. The boat I am powering is a project boat I picked up last year.
The boat is a 25ft 1989 Glassmaster cabin cruiser - We converted it to a pilot house. She is a deep-vee and I am sure the weight is atleast double of your 20ft Corsair.
We have gutted the interior completely and added some cedar bench seats down in the cabin area. I know we removed close to 1400lbs. I am estimating the weight currently without engines to be around 3500lbs. She is solid fiberglass.
Captaindada is my nickname around the lake - I am the proud father of 6 boys. Oldest being 13, then 10, 5, 4, 2, 3months.
The pilot house configuration with the cruiser type cabin below is perfect for keeping everyone under lock and key while we're running offshore to fish.
Currently - I have the following which I will make someone a super great deal on.
--- 225 V6 w/complete outdrive $800.00
--- 120 inline 4 mercruiser w/complete outdrive $500.00
--- GM 350 5.7l carburated inboard engine $1000.00
I am located in Southwest Louisiana but wouldn't mind palletizing and helping arrange shipping.
I decided my best bet would be to go with twin 150 outboards. This will give me a top speed of almost 35kts and a nice cruise of around 28kts only burning 8gph.
Now - to find a wonderfully priced set of 150hp outboards with less then 500hours between 1997 and 2001 years
Anyone interested in anything I have for sale - I will give a 10% discount to anyone who is a member of this forum.
