hi all
I am looking at re-powering my nautiglas( 15ft fibreglass). It has a new transome and floor, so i am interested at new or late 2nd hand?. i have a mid 80s 70hp johno which goes great but the steering shaft is gummed up and hard to steer. so my delema is 70hp or bigger, 2 or 4 stroke. (It is rated to an old 85hp)
I mainly bay fish and over to moreton and off shore bribie occasionaly.
I would like to fish some shallow offshore stuff up an down the coast so trolling may be in the mix. is a 60 four stroke going to be underpowered or is a 70-75 four going to be too heavy???? oh yeah and is economical.
any help appreciated
