Dude I had a sailboat for ten years, only installed a motor when I sold it.....

you gotta get all medieval royal navy if you want to get the chicks.


bayliners , almost all of them are I/O drives, probably with 350's...

here's a cheapie. 25' Bayliner Cabin North Nanaimo, Nanaimo


Legs are brutal for costing money tho. volvo even worse, think toyota dealer prices x3.

a straight drive would be better ...probably easier to adapt too.

Lots of old chris crafts are straight drive , or v drive... here's one.. 1980 Chris Craft 25? Cabin Cruiser Outside Nanaimo, Nanaimo

that'd probably be the sorta thing I'd look for...good if it has a trailer too, moorage is brutal these days, heading towards $10 per foot per month, and that's IF you can find any...most places have 2year waiting lists..

Bigger binliners, like 3288's have 4 cyl td hinos in em, that look an aweful lot like a 3B (13bt or 14B possibly?), be slick if the trannies would match up...( some of them are ramped up to 200 hp, you'd have to tune em down for a truck as the cooling isn't as efficient, but had me thinkin more than once...)

course, my present boat is a 24' kinda rotten 1960 sailboat, taking up space in my garage, that if it gets a motor at all, will get a 2hp honda... (dang phrf nazi's insist on having an engine aboard...)

just phrf racing rules. boat has to be at least 20' long, and have an engine.

I always got fxxxed when it came to rating, had 14 seconds per mile in penalties for s*** that shouldn't apply to a 30 year old boat ( my last boat that is)

especially when the guy who hands out the ratings just looks online , finds a similar boat and slaps it on. never mind if it's physically impossible for the boat to sail to that rating in the local conditions... (not that I'm still bitter after 10 years or anything)

this thing should be fun getting rated....50yrs old, but has the bottom profile of a melges 24... YouTube - melges 24 hyeres 2006 (2)

Dunno if it'll ever go that fast ( doubt it ) but I'm sure gonna try to get the weight down enough as I rebuild it...
