RipTide Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Welcome to the forum!!! What a screamer. Nice and clean looking rig. Squid will be drooooling over that machine. :content: Your not worried about transom stress from an over sized motor? Have you had transom modifications done? Or should I be asking, what is your current USCG motor rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RipTide Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yah, I need my eyes checked again. I noticed the year after I replied. What all did you do in regards to the restoration? Whatever you did, you did it nicely. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidmotion Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 if yammachopper ever dies, and i decide to go new, (highly unlikely).. i would have to take a hard look at the etecs... i've heard them to be pretty reliable in the lower hp ranges, and about the only thing out there that wouldn't add over 100lbs to the stern of my boat..... besides, i love 2-strokes. have you had any issues with that 250HO? not like it's having to push a big old heavy offshore boat or anything!

RipTide Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Looking at the transom of your boat I dont know if I should recommend a Power Pole or a parachute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURN ME LOOSE Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Is that gauge reading the motor is running at 166 degrees??? Or was that that the hours on the motor itself? Nice rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURN ME LOOSE Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Isn't that kinda hot? Our 200s all run around 123-131. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFL Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 HOLY LT20..... Thats is one good looking boat. One day i will repower mine with something nasty like that... With 11mpg that must be nice too.. My truck dont get much more mpg than that. Not to take anything away from this super-sweet rig, but check your math. That'd be 4 mpg, not 11. If it got 11 I'd sell my truck, hang a 250 on my LT and drive my boat everywhere! This boat rocks! Gotta be a blast of a ride. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
