Hi there, looking for these brackets but no longer on ebay. Anybody know if there is anywhere to buy these? Or do I have to get them made up by a machine shop...
Thanks very much

I have the 355t version of this boat and it was repowered 10 years ago with Merc 454's I think if you are going to all this work, go big. I cruise at 18 to 20 knts at 2800- 3000 rpm {load depending} these motors are loafing along at these loads. ....
ps.. borg 72C's
I think the biggest factor in engine life is the prop loading. Just like a diesel, prop the boat to turn rated plus at least 200 rpm, then run it at "normal" 3000 -3200 and the BMEP is down where it should be. In other words {for the aviators out there} don't run it oversquare. I have around...
I have the cp300 with c-map charts.... would not buy again. The screen is failing on my unit, it getts all fuzzy and fades out. Also the c-map is junk, it gets confused with north up/track up and puts things in the wrong place. I have a pc based {seaclear} and Ipad with navionics... far superior...
Our boat is one of the first that Searay started building a "BiG' hull.... bascally very heavy, with lots of reserve bouyancy. It is a great couple's boat, just one big berth, lots of salon space, great gally and big bridge for a 36ft boat. Very wide safe side decks. 20 knt cruise at 3000 rpm...
We are hoping to go out for New Years for a couple of days. Thw wind and storms seem to be settling down from the 50+ knots last week... but below freezing this morning.
Here is the cockpit version of the boat. They only made for 3 years i think. The PO did a lot of work on her before I came along... complete wiring,navigation,interior,engines,.. pretty much everything was restored or replaced. It runs very nicely at 18 knts @ 2800 rpm on the 454's. {4 blade...
I am looking for the next boat.... quite a few in California that are worth looking at[great prices} Has anyone brought a 44 to 48 ft boat up from LA to the PNW area {Victoria}? I am not sure if Yachtwise transports from there, but if not, may bring back on it's own bottom. Looking at 46...
i run synthetic in my motorbike with a wet clutch, you just have to make sure it does not have any molybdenum in the oil, commonly refered to as "mileage improvers",or "epa approved" etc
