I'm in Texas, a genny is a neccessity!
Rossjo, I might just take you up on that!
Jav, thanks for the info. I'd like to go with a lighter genset if possible, and some of the new 3.5 - 4.5's are pretty small.

Looking at a 1978 F32, coming back to the Trojan family!
We're getting pretty close on making an offer on this boat. It's very nice, with recent PCM repower. The only sticking point is the lack of generator. It had the 6.5 Onan, and it was removed by the previous owner. All wiring, mounts etc are still there. My question: Do I find another 6.5 Onan, or po...

I run a 3 blade 14x9 cupped. It works pretty well. But I also have a fourblade 13x13 that I'd like to have reworked into a 13x10, (if it can be done). I've read some great things about running fourblades on older inboards on the Shamrock and Penn Yan forums. I know our hulls are different than those...

My stereo is installed on the rear bulkhead just above the upright seat cushion. I think this was a factory location, because I've seen others in the same spot. I used a car-grade stereo, not marine since it was inside. For speakers I use Poly-Planars. Good sound, and very waterproof. Two in the car...

I really lucked out my platform, it appears to be the exact right size with no trimming. I goes all the way to the edges of the stern. But I was prepared to either cut a platform that was too large, or live with one that didn't span the entire length. Attaching the platform was simple, but it's a 3 ...

At slowest idle, I'm around 2-3mph. That's 550-600rpm, just barely ticking over. With the 1:1 ratio, don't know if you can go lower without killing the engine. In a good state of tune, that 351W will idle quite low. My 351W in my 1970 Donzi will idle around 500rpm all day long. I'm in Clear Lake, ne...

Sivak, in my experience these boats are extremely sensitive to bottom condition and weight. I attribute it to the 1:1 transmission providing no torque multiplication. (And the low hp motors) Other inboards I've driven with 2:1 or 2.5:1 trannies are much less sensitive to weight and drag. (I can vary...
