yes you are right , regardless ,im going to look for a motor with more hp then 40 but under 200 lbs . of coarse reinforcements etc etc will be done ...where did you find the specs for my boat any pics im lookin for ideas on the seating etc
I need the weights for mercury s 4 cylinder 50 to 80 hp
and the weights for the 3 cylinder motors same hp range ..
I think the 65hp would be the weight I can use. because from what little I found there mostly under 200lbs
I picked up same boat duratech skier 1965 may 2 2020 nice boat I didn't do anything to it yet except gather ideas and more motors . how are you doing with the boat ? any pictures ? as my boat came pretty much bare except most the fittings are there and in decent shape. mine is a 14ft with a 73...
