In case you didn't know, we ALL have the bug, lol
Roy's a class act......We'll, I went out on the first run and ask roy how I was doing at 45 and he seemed to think I was doing good at 45...lol
I got the boat to 63 and Roy could only get it to 73. He said it was either rev limiter that stoped him or that was top speed. He seemed to feel like 6000 was all it would push.
Roy did find right away that my steering and linkage needs some major attention. I actually feel better that's its not as much me as it is my set up.
to show me the difference he was kind enough to allow me behind the wheel of his 02. Im not sure he can correct me but I think I was driving his 02 70-75 easier than I was driving mine at 63. So after he schooled me on what I need to do with my steering I have been looking up everything I need and thinking of what I need to do. He also give me some set up pointers on engine as well.
On a further note I found out I was lied to about the engine. Its not a offshore or a 260, or 240, its a flat 200. And the boat will not do 94...lol
Roy schooled me a great deal on many things even fishing.! He caught 6 to my 1.
Yep...for sure, 'cept I'd stretch the year to '04, I'm biased.:big grin2.4 Bridgeport 240hp right but you would be best off with a 225 Promax. 96-2000. Thats the best motor bang for buck with reliability and good speed loaded or light. Should get a boat like yours to 89-91 relitivly easaly. They are decent on fuel and a good fresh one runs $5500 and less in motors for sale on hear and other boards. Scream and Fly has very large outboards for sale section. You could sell your 200 and not pay a very large pennilty moving up to a 225PM. They have close to 240 hp also even though they say 225.
