I currently own a 2011 SLX 270 and I live on a fresh water lake in Alabama. I love the boat and 30 mph cruising speed is just fine.
Jumps on plane like a jack rabbit.
I just stumbled across and opportunity for 2005 SLX with no motor or out drive.
Thinking is buy this boat clean it up and put in a HP engine and out drive set up to cruise 3000 to 35000 rpms at 50-60 mph without much concern for takeoff.
Thinking to make this my salt water boat.
Maybe if I trust it trailer it down to south Florida and go island hopping.
What are the fails in this plan?
