Project Activator

Any progress on this project?

Yes! was just going to update. I am going back out for some more footage and have the next episode up soon. Bulkheads have been almost complete, and next phase will be to finish up inside the hull. Measure for new tank etc.

One thing I am thinking a lot about is the engine now. And, with the new Mercury's it makes it even more difficult. Here's what I am thinking. I was kind of sold on going with a 225 HP engine, for combination of performance and budget.

1. Mercury V6 3.4 225 - add after market solid mounts (digital controls)
2. Mercury V8 ProXS 225 (digital) add solid mounts
3. G2 225 - aftermarket solid mounts (digital)
4. Yamaha SHO 225 - aftermarket solid mounts (mechanical)
5. Racing 250R (comes mechanical only for now)

The mercury V6 wins on weight, and price. The Yamaha is a close second. The 250R is tempting because out of the box it is excellent, already has solid mounts, would prefer digital, but not a deal breaker. A little pricey though.

What do you guys think?
