For what its worth...
I just looked back at some messages I exchanged with Capt Bone. In it he said he used an old 225 not a 250 hp engine, so all the better if looking at a 250

Re: Thoughts about a single 250hp outboard on B25?

I've been wrestling with the same supply issue and will likely refurbish my out drives. New engines are tough to find and most of the used engines I've found were being sold by very proud owners. I found this posting a few years ago talking about the performance found/predicted on prior repowers and...

Re: Repowering 25' Bahia Mar

Another beautiful boat! I am impressed with the skills and dedication many here put into their boats. I love the comments about starting every time and being able to talk! Jenks, like others I'm also interested in the weight placement along with the information about your bracket. I read its from St...

Re: Repowering 25' Bahia Mar

Thanks John, more helpful information. Did you also add a bow thruster? Or does the duo-prop help that much around docks? My boat has the same basic engines with 4 barrels rebuilt by a speed shop in New York and they make plenty of power for my needs. My alpha drives need to be rebuilt or replaced a...

Re: Repowering 25' Bahia Mar

I'll look closely at the deck height but it looks like the top of the transom cut would be flush with the deck. I asked Armstrong for more info on installing on the 25, testimonials or possibly even contact information to get first hand experience. The replied try "The Hull Truth". I certainly thoug...

Re: Repowering 25' Bahia Mar

The devil is always in the details. The absolutely simplest approach is to close out the transom holes and hang one or two outboards off the back. I would not use a fixed bracket, like Stainless or Armstrong. Why not? - they are fixed. If you get it wrong, it's big work and $$ to correct. - with a ...

Re: Repowering 25' Bahia Mar

Thank you both for the replies and information. I have read as much as I could find about conversions but it seems the final results or at least the required tweaking to get a decent ride are often vague. Cam's details about prop selection and engine height are just the kind of details I haven't see...

Repowering 25' Bahia Mar

I'm considering a powering and hoping to hear advise from people who are more familiar with this hull than the engine dealers I've talked with. The advise I've gotten from a couple dealerships have been contradictory. One tells me twins will cavitate in heavy seas another says a single will be a haz...
