I have a 22' Blazer 675 Ultimate Bay that i am considering a repower to a Merc 400R. Anyone running a similar motor on a similar boat? I see Simmons is putting 500R's on 23 footers all the time. Also, i know they have ran a 400R and a 500R on the basscat Jaguar 22 footer. It weighs 2250 dry. My boat is 1850 dry. I have a 300 Pro XS with 75 hours on it right now. Would like opinions if anyone has put one of these on a flats or bass boat style , in that weight range. This motor is 695lbs vs 511lbs on my 300.
