Four Stroke?
This boat was a barn find. Note the Merc 35 2 stroke. Not running. Stinky. Loud.
I opted for a new Suzuki 30. Delivered to my garage and installed myself. Re-did the floors. Moved the console to the center. Ditched the 60s style windshield. Added a kodiak 14 gallon bait tank and rod holders. Last edited by TCS; 08-11-2020 at 07:46 PM. |

The result:
I’m really happy with how it came out. I made two runs offshore with it to the 9 and then just west of the Coronados . Found tuna but no biters. Been to LJ a few times as well. Added bilge pumps, sonar and gps etc.

Benefits
I still have my revo 13, but don’t think I’ll use it much. For road trips I guess.
25 mph top speed fully loaded @10 mpg. I can pee standing up. Offshore potential, especially on a nice fall day when the tuna are close. Will make a good Baja boat. Fits in my small garage. Launch from mission bay. Can buy bait if I’m lazy or for offshore. Last edited by TCS; 08-11-2020 at 07:56 PM. |

Killer Boat!
I owned a Livingston for many years, absolutely loved it for fishing along the beach. Nice work...Congrats!
