    Not enough power?

    You're correct 7 people is not absurd, but as you said" The specs are 400 hp. I was thinking of getting another 250 and be done, but the insurance would not like it! So, I'm in the process of looking for a pair of used 150's/175's or 200's (looking at 2 strokes for less maintenance and weight...

    Not enough power?

    I do not understand the question. For the size of the slander I guess it can handle seven people. I friend of mine can handle the same on a 23 Seafox, so, why not my boat?

    Ok Guys. First, thanks for the interest. Second. The revs did not stop at 5000 rpms and did not struggled to increase but if i tried to go over, the whistle would come on ( I tried twice and had to turn the throttle back). There were no weeds or anything else on the propeller, as well as the...

    Solar battery charger/maintainer

    I would agree w/ you if I used the boat a lot more. I'm looking for the "charger" to work during the periods when the boat is on trailer (3 months last time)) as well as the " few" times when we stay overnight (weekends) on board, that's why people use the maintainer, Right?

    Solar battery charger/maintainer

    Understood, but my situation is a bit different. Boat stays on the trailer but at the location there is no way to keep a electrical extension feeding a maintainer; rain gets on the bilge and the pumps do their jobs, because of that , battery goes w/out charge. ( reason for a solar...
