no brand boats

[tpenfield]

It is a good looking boat, so fix it up and enjoy. Most of the component parts (engine, controls, gauges, fixtures, etc) are not specific to the brand of boat, so you should be able to get what you need without knowing the manufacturer. I would imagine that you will find out eventually.

what else should i do.must find a motor.dont know what you think about brand of motors but i think it must be made in japan.which american brand is the best?

Ayuh,..... So is it a 25" transom,..??..?? you didn't answer the question,....

Go find an outboard motor that matches the transom height, at 150hp/ 200hp, 'n bolt it on,....
What brands/ makes do you see where you live,..??
Are there any nearby Dealers,..??
Service can be more important than the particular manufacturer,.....

Yea its a 25 transom.thats thrue.i dont need the brand for fixing the boat but it is nice that i can write in the documents the manufacturer.i live in slovenija.it is so small country that there are just a few sellers of boats.you get american brands which are more popular like sea ray,crownline etc.my brother owns a crownline 202 with a 4.3 volvo penta.its a nice boat.

What kind of horsepower do i need for 25 transom?

 

[roffey]

I think the horse power is related to the length and width of the boat and not so much the transom height. You can get long and short shaft motors with the same HP. Be carefull here and don't over power as you can damage the boat. There is a formula and some one here will know it off the top of their head, LOL.

 

[tpenfield]

I would think you could go with 250 hp and have some decent performance

 

[hosteter]

Uuuuu 250hp :-D that would be awsome :-D lengt is 22 feet an wide is 7 and half feet.yea please tell me someone abbout lenght of the shaft?how do i messure it.is long or short shaft for 25 transom?

 

[jbcurt00]

Measure like this

And if your transom is 25inches, +/- an inch or 2, it's an EXTRA long shaft, not a typical long shaft

International boating laws dictate power levels for outboard motors on boats. This is what is used to detemin HP capacity.

Here is a link that covers the calculations

What do you people say abbout the color?i like orange very much.like powerboats or offshore boats.any idea?

 

[Bondo]

What do you people say abbout the color?

Ayuh,.... I like lighter colors that don't get as hot in the sun,....

Red is cool, but it fades quickly,....

Yellow goes good with orange,...... maybe teal hi-lights,.....

 

[hosteter]

In front yellow and back orange ahaaa.but to paint is lighter when there is just one color.

 

[hosteter]

What do you mean for a cover for boat.a whole cover or just over cockpit.
