    You would be better off asking this question on www.thehulltruth.com as I'm willing to be any answers you get from this forum will be biased... :wink:

    2001 twin yamaha 250 salwaterseries are they good motors?

    Good deal! Those 250s and the Hermco bracket will make a real nice combo for that hull. Let me know if you need a set of props. I have a VERY NICE pair of 15.25 x 19 Mirage Plus wheels for sale. Had them on my '93 Sailfish w/ 225 OX66s and they were about perfect...

    2001 twin yamaha 250 salwaterseries are they good motors?

    I/O and inboard boats don't usually have max HP ratings....so nothing to worry about there. If your transom and stringers are designed/built to handle the load, bolt 'em on. But I would make sure you can get insurance first. What bracket are you using?

    Twin Yamies for 209 Escape

    90s don't have an external oil reservoir so that space could be reclaimed. Batteries can be relocated relatively easily to under the console. Then aft section of the cap would have to be redesigned/rebuilt as would the transom cutout. Not easy...but doable. Kinda like closing the transom...

    Gelcoat application advice needed

    If the gelcoat doesn't have the wax additive, try brushing a coat of PVA over the entire gelcoated surface. Give it a day to two and then wash that off. If it's still tacky, you can probably lay down another layer of gelcoat right over it (and PVA if if it's the non-waxed stuff). If it comes...

    They can ship to you. I bought some Yamaha rigging from they a few weeks ago and had it in a few days.

    366 Pic.

    A 2x4 wedged in there works just as good and won't cost you $60.

    Towing Question

    That depends on how much fuel and water he gives you. If both are empty, figure on that number being 1500 lbs. lower.

    What HP would you RePower 99 209 Escape?

    If you are only looking to get more power, I'd go with a used 200 or 225 OX66. Heck, I bet you could find a new leftover out there somewhere...

    Please help...24 Offshore vs 25 Sailfish

    A budget of $15,000 and intentions of going 40 to 70 miles offshore would have me shopping 24 Albemarles...

    1988 Tournament 190 fuel switch?

    Turning the switch on will only power up the fuel gauge...unless somebody already messed with it...or I'm just plain wrong about it's functionality.

    1988 Tournament 190 fuel switch?

    My old 204 had that swtich too. Turned the fuel gauge on and off if I remember correctly. I rewired it to come on with the ignition when I did the new gauge panel.

    Rpm surge

    I would also get yourself a small 3-gal external tank and run it directly to the motor. That will help you determine if the problem is with the engine or the fuel system.

    Rpm surge

    Fuel pumps. 3 of them on the port side of the block. About $42 each to replace. If they've never been done, it's time.
