ChrisCraft Power requirements
Hello Looking for some help if I can...I recently purchased a "project boat"
it's a 1980 ChrisCraft 213 VF Scorpion outboard Center console. Would anyone know where I can find archival information as to the power requirements for this boat? ChrisCraft is no help, they have no information for anything older than 2001. Any leads would be of help. Thanks Richard Nadolny Stevensville, MD |

Any leads would be of help. Look on the inside of the transom for the builders plate with serial numbers, max load rating, etc. It may specify a maximum hosepower rating. Otherwise 1 horsepower for every 25 to 30 pounds of loaded weight usually works pretty well in that size range. |
