The Boating Forum - Anybody running a verado on a Pacific?

I'm interested to hear anybody who has or knows somebody with this setup on a 26'/23'. Any stats? This is my dream setup, I've yet to come across any info about it. Thanks

Mike

Last spring when I bought my Pacific Jay told me about a customer putting a Verado on either a 23 or 26. Give him a call...I am sure he can help you out.

what do you have on your boat? sweet rig !

Thanks, she is my pride and joy. I run a Suzuki DF250 on her.

i'm going to repower mine (19) soon...
i thought about the 150 but it makes more sense to stay with suzuki, plus transom weight is a concern...
sure would be sweet though

I almost went with the Verado but I couldnt justify the additional rigging charges it would have cost. As it is, I spent too much on all the other toys anyways :grin:

I am concerned about transom weight as well. Anybody know if their is a recommended max weight for the engine? According to Merc's site the 250 weighs about 650 lbs with a 25" shaft. Anything to be worried about? Rigging is expensive, I'm guessing its going to be minimum 20k when I'm done

I would like to hear some numbers, especially with the weight of these boats, I bet it would really haul ass

Osis - I have a Pacific 23 Walk Around with a Suzuki DF250 with a 30" leg. Today I did a demo ride for a fellow and we were doing an honest 47 mph into a 17 knot headwind. The transom on the Pacific is designed for a twin application, so a single verado would be no problem. The transom's are very beefy, by design, but I'm not sure what the max weight would be.

Max Transom Weight V20 500 lbs. Max Transom Weight V23 1000 lbs.

v2325 pacific , my 06 , MAX HP........... 225hp on the CG tag on the dash
