Hey

I'm going to have a few ???

I have had several boats - fishing - run abouts - inboard - outboard - aluminum - fiberglass - deckboats - duck boats - have friends with all kinds of boats

this is my 1st Sea Ray a 2004 220 Sundeck 5.0 & it had 8 hrs on it & I got it for 1/2 the price of a new one

My 1st question is about a lift ? I see it weighs 4300 lbs. (no gas people beer) will a 5000 lb. lift be big enough ?

I'm going to be interested in props it has a 18 p SS - what would a duoprop do for it ? - has anyone ever had a Merc High Five on one ?

Looking forward to this site :smt100 ..........:grin:

First off, welcome and congrats. To the topic-- the listed dry weight of the boat is just that a very dry weght, no fluids (gas, oil, outdrive oil, water etc..) no batteries, no gear or people or beer so I think a 700 lb cushion is cutting it a bit too close for me.. As for the prop?? what out drive did you say you had? A duo-prop (counter rotating) is for a BIII ? What are yu equiped with?

Welcome aboard. May want to do a search on props or post a question in the general section for more details. Not everybody reads the who who section. Again welcome aboard.
