Nice fish!

That's funny - I have a picture of your boat saved on my hard drive from a couple years ago - for when I go to paint my Formula 233CC. Never knew whose it was, just liked the paint job - it looks great.

What sort of performance #'s do you see w/ the single on the bracket - cruise rpm/speed & wot?

boat has a 225 yammi 2-stroke. I cruise at 30mph getting 2.1 - 2.2 gph on the flowscan in calm conditions. WOT is just under 40mph depending on payload. Oil consumption is a bit high (in my opinion) but the dealer says not to worry as long as I stick with using the ring-free with every fillup. With 110 gal on board I have decent range for anyplace one should think about taking a single outboard. The real interesting thing is that this hull rides like a much larger boat, she's not real dry because of a lack of bow flair but when tabbed correctly she'll run very soft in 2-3s.

I'd love to repower someday with a pair of 150s but that is financially a long way off

Those are good cruise #'s. I run '89 twin 120's, and I'll ave. about 1.5 mpg cruising at 28mph. Newer twin 150 (+) would certainly be nice, but I am also a ways off.

I've been very happy w/ the ride quality. Tabs down and it flattens out surprisingly big chop.
