That is more what I am actually looking for....How big is she Gregr?
Did you rebuild her also?

I agree it might be a good buy and serve your purpose but it might have implications with USCG , TPWD and your insurance company if you choose to insure it.......you are only allowed a certain percentage of over powering a boat ( the HP rating is stated on the hull ).....you might want to look into it...GOOD LUCK with your boat search...

Hmmmmmmmmmm

If you take gregr's carolina skiff, put some flares out on the side and hit 60 you MIGHT just have invented a new flying machine lol

I flipped a carolina skiff once lol... Turning a corner at about 30 and BOY DID IT FLY LOL

Dumped me over and took off flying into greens marsh

Scared the helll out of me lol

Never did find those dern rods


That boat was one of my favorites, built like a TANK

Chip, here is an ideal

Get it and have gregr put a tunnel in it for you. I rode in a CS 19 with a tunnel in mansfield.. Shallowest boat ive ever been in, we left a RFL in the mud lol

Capt Randy Rogers down here by SPI used to run a Carolina 24 or so, and the steering was never a problem. They do tend to "crab" a bit, big whup, it's different just like steering a cat is different.

Check the transom real good for stress cracks before ya buy it. Five grand is a heck of a good deal.

Usually it's the dang wiring on them old botes!

sweet, I've been wanting to re/overpower mine. Since I put a t top on it the old 90 barely pushes it. I was thinking 150, but 200 is better. lol

[gregr1971]

boom, 3000-3200 is 40-41mph.

with a 24p prop, it will spin up to 6200

It would be nice to run 40 at half throttle. The reason this boat is only rated @115 is the turning issue. If the captain has half a brain it will be fine.

[gregr1971]

it's still here, aint gone yet, not really PUSHING it, right offer comes,sorrybut IT'S GONE. The longer its here, the longer i use it.

these hulls can easily handle the extra 90lbs of the motor, BUT the power is not for a novice, and they dont turn worth a darn.

yup. I knew he wouldn't keep that boat long.

60 mph ...In a fiberglass john boat? You would want something with a keel to be able to turn it even running 40mph. I'd say keep looking...too many good deals right now on used boats.

[TXSHOCKWAVE]

keep looking.

[Texxan1]

is it LEGAL?????

200 is way to much HP for that boat...

should scoot lol

[FP10]

lol that thing will haul ***!!
