Looks like a nice rig. What's the fuel capacity and usage with that Suz 250? I can tell that's the EZ2CY vinyl from the picture. Looking through it looks almost as clear as the air.
cfarmd ... I have been checking these boats out for a while. It's not unusual for them to come with twins on that Armstrong bracket. You could go well beyond 150's, they wouldn't give any more speed and probably less efficiency than the single 250.

thanks for that info, I like the security of having duals but there are obvious drawbacks as well. It's all a balancing game. This is a beautiful boat and just what I'm looking for, but I've still got a few years of school left so it will have to wait for now. Good luck with the sale OP!
cfarmd ........ BO is right, twins are no problem. The 250 makes it an economical offshore machine though, if that matters. Run 45 miles out, troll for hours, run back in, usually at the same speed as with twins, on less than 50 gallons. Study hard.
A friend of mine has a 2000 Bluewater 2550, he has a single 250 on an armstrong bracket. When he was looking to repower I think he was getting quotes of around 7 thousand to switch out the bracket so that it would support twins.
I have to say though, that this hull handles extremely well even in very rough water. It feels much larger than it actually is IMO.
GL with the sale i'm sure someone will be very happy to get this one.
thanks for all the nice comments guys. If the boat was in Florida it would be gone. There are 2 people from there interested now. I almost talked myself into keeping it, but I spend all my time on the flats chasing Redfish now. If the kids were still at home and wanting to go diving that would be different.
