Haven't had a chance to get a more certain ID on it. It needs light fiberglass work, a new trailer, probably repowering, and some minor rewiring. Currently has an old 2-smoke Everrude 20hp. Going to try and crank it tonight. If I were to be the primary captain, I'd consider keeping the 2-smoke. But the wife needs the ease and security of a 4-stroke with power tilt. My concern is the added weight vs. 2-stroke. Anyone repowered a similar BW with a 4-stroke? Results? Picture for clarity. hjorgan attached the following image: [65.69Kb] Edited by hjorgan on 07/26/21 - 8:40 AM
