nice still for sale ???

possibly, I rigged it with a 2L F-1 powerhead and mid with a CLE gearcase. Kind of as an experiment. The issue is the 2L motor's powerband is 5 to 9000 rpm so it has to be kept in that range. Speed was OK (a little over a 100 with the only prop I tried) but driveability is an issue in normal useage. A 280 or S3000 would work much better (more mid range) and bolt on, or a 300xs, but the 3.2L would involve different mid and gearcase. PM me If you have interest

yes I think you had said before driveability was an issue with this hull,, I will do as you ask thanks for responding

the issue is due to the powerband of the small (2L) powerhead on a 23' boat. the boat planes ok as the prop ventilates to get on plane, the problem is the transition from on plane to packing air, the motor makes very littile power till 5000 rpm so it is sluggish to start packing air, after it is in the powerband and packing air, it is fine and runs much like the boats with a larger motor.
