Sweet !!!

Good to see you moving along with it. I see you got a lot of systems installed, it wont be long now !!!
Great job. Good to see you back online with us.

Geez, that means that my boat is 13 yrs old, and still not finished !!!!

Hi,
Which 120 Mercruiser do you have?
the 2.5L or the 3.0l ?

120 mercruiser was available in different configurations, which engine you got?

I'm running that engine in my Double Eagle, maybe I can help you. My boat is 25' and 8' beam, at 15mph I'm on plane. that engine will push me to 27mph, loaded, on a good day. You should be up also at 18mph. That engine doesn't make 120hp either, it is more realistic about 90. Even at a lower hp expe...

I am retiring and going onto a fixed income. I'm cleaning out the garage and shed, I got too much leftovers from the Double Eagle and canoe build. You guys chime in please, and give me ideas what to do with this stuff. Maybe I sell it for little money, maybe I scratch together a scrap box boat of so...

I'll second the motion for a donor boat, and you might get a trailer too. The 4.3L V6 is common in the sterndrive boats, and conversion to velvet drive is pretty much straight forward. May I suggest calling michigan motorz and request info on a 'kit' to do the sterndrive-velvetdrive conversion, I'll...

To determine gearing and propeller size to attain a desired speed, we will require more input before we can run the Shaft HP VS Speed Calculator : Max BHP Max RPM Gear Ratio Weight Required maximum speed (MPH) We''ll post the results as soon as you provide us with your data. ____________________ Pa...

I don't know a darn thing about SF bay, but, I do know somewhat about taking smaller-ish boats out into bigger water. ......you pick your days. ....you pick days of calm wind and little chance of afternoon storms. Is a flat bottomed jon boat suitable to go offshore? heck no, but, have I ever seen it...

The Supra 1" shaft, strut & prop is the better idea from the start

Out of curiosity, what shaft diameter,
and what prop goes with that 1:1 Ford setup now?

Looks like that 1to1 tranny is coming out of the Supra! It has a nice prop shaft, strut and flange on it also. Shaft may not be the correct length of course. Glad I purchased the Supra now! Let me get it out and I will get back to you guys...thanks again. There you go !!! I been waiting for that......

Paul wrote: SHP = Shaft HP LB = Weight (Pounds) BHP = Brake HP Kts = Desired Speed (Knots) SRPM = Shaft RPM C = Crouch's Hull Constant you say Kts = desired speed (Knots) So, umm, how do you get THAT number???? where did you get that? what is it? 20kts, 30kts, 40kts, 50kts??? show me just how to arr...

Paul wrote "The first step to select the engine, gearing and propeller for your boat is to determine optimum propeller diameter. Gerr doesn't need boat length or weight to do this." yes he does, the size of boat is how you arrive at gear ratio. if you do not figure the size of boat, 'which you need ...
