Yeah at some point for now the old 1993 2 stroke is getting the job done. Looking at 60HP Mercury

I know what you mean it was cool to have a project to work on but I'm really looking forward to going all over the state with it.

How many HP is the 2 stroke?

 

[GoGataGo52__20]

I never saw a Ranger Banshee before I bought my skiff, or I would have gone the same route as you and get a used ranger banshee sweet skiff man

90 HP Mercury - Going to eventually go with 60 HP Mercury

I love it but like everything in life it has it's positives and negatives. Positive is very wide and stable so for a big guy like me it is nice, has a big front deck and I love driving it like a car, and it floats very shallow. On the negative side it is not a performance hull by any means nor what I would consider a technical polling skiff. It is slow, hard to plane and tough to steer. With that being said I knew exactly what I was getting into waited until I found one with right price and it does exactly what I want it to do.

True, 90 hp mercury pushes it how fast? I fished one a few months back it’s not a performance skiff but it fished very nice. I could care less on how it performs as long as it gets you to the fishin spot

Very nice. Congrats. Now it's got some great mojo to go with it with that first snook!

Have not had the you know what to push it past 30 at this point. Used to running a Bay Boat with a lot more between me and the water.

Great choices on the finishes, looks great, congrats on sticking with it! I refinished an old whaler and didn't know what to do with all my extra time when I was done

Thanks I have always been a fan of the light blue and seafoam colors was hard choice but I'm happy with the blue.

One of my favorite parts also allows for easy access to the battery box. The old Mercury has been great. It was in the back of my buddies shop discarded and I spent about $700 and some time to get it running. It likes to run wide open and hates no wake zones (idle).
