New Motor for 1992 Grady White Overnighter.
What is recommended for this boat? It has an outrigger on the back and
currently has a 175 Evinrude that has seen better days and I think needs replacement. Curious about the new 4 Cycles that are heavier and their effect on the balance of the boat. Does anyone have a boat like this with the outrigger and what would you recommend. A couple of friends have Yamaha 2 cylcles, but had trouble with them that they blamed on the MTB fuel additive. Another friend swears by his 4 cycle. I am not a frequent boater, just want something that starts easily and is reliable. Thinking of about 200 HP, seems to be the right size, but someone said that anything over 175 on this boat would just be wasting gas. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I don't know what an "an outrigger on the back" means (unless it is the factory installed Grady-Drive), but personally, I'd look at a 200+hp Suzuki 4-stroke.... Evinrude ETEC - much betterererreerererrrr.... |
