Ready for the next fine day!
Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2016-08-27 17:32
Just picked her up after getting new motor fitted! Can't wait so see how she goes!
Duel batteries added when I did the rewire and threw a new hds9 gen3 on during the process 
New suzuki Df80a (had a 2012 Df60a originally, FW member took the old donk of my hands)
Originally did 22km @ 4500rpm & 44km @ wot.... I'm hoping the new cruising speed is the original wot...
New motor.... 4500rpm 42kmh wot 53kmh (5800rpm should get a bit more once she frees up... running a 3 x 13.875 x 15 suzuki ally prop)

Pretty much what I was
Pretty much what I was thinking, if I decide now means I have to buy a sticker haha.... bait board is next, want a bolt on job with slide out tackle containers underneath. Can get online ones with live wells under the bait board so I'll just cut into the live tank and install the tackle trays. They are about $500

That should hammer along,
That should hammer along, just mounting the lowrance hook 9 on mine and was wondering how many screws to put in the mounting plate, might follow your lead and fill it up as the plastic dash looks a bit flimsy for the weight. Surprised you only got 44kmph out of the 60 as I'm running a 50 on my 460 coast runner and after a few tanks of fresh fuel she hits 55 kmph WOT. Looking forward to that elusive next fine day as well.... cheers
