APACHE Scout Power Options

[extra300]

Need Advise… Might be looking to power 21’ Apache Scout with New Merc 300xs. I have a few options. I want what will be best for the boat, but also want to take resale of motor alone into consideration. I will probably only keep the boat for about 2 years and sell it. I might end up selling them separate. Boat has Extension Box and Hyd Jack Plate, Tabs. Boat will be used in the ocean. Options: 1st Choice: Optimax or Offshore (Offshore is 700 more) 2nd Choice: Sportmaster 1:62 or 1:75 Torquemaster 1:75 Not sure what this boat will top out at, results with similar power on other Scouts are anywhere from 75-85 mph. Thanks

You pick up the one from PA ?

is this the one for sale last week that ran 91 just days before it sold? why repower?

[extra300]

This is a general question, about which power and why to put on an Apache 21/22.

[fastdonzi.]

I think with that kind of power you coud pull the 1.62 pretty well. But the 1.75 will come out of the hole quicker and be easier on the equipment.

Sportmaster or Torquemaster?

and why

[fastdonzi.]

Sportmasters look so cool, I would buy it for that alone (Honestly)

You may not need sportmaster but resale value with one will be better
