Will be picking up a clean & solid 1996 single console 21XD tomorrow.
It has a 225 Johnson Venom on it currently but i am buying the boat for the hull and trailer as it is mint.
I will be looking to re-power the boat with a Mercury 250 optimax. (either Pro XS or Sport XS).
The boat does have the added transom bracing for the 3.0L.
Getting my check list down now of where to start with the re-powering.
What LU would be best?
What prop for fishing & Top end?
Setback? (boat has a manual 12 inch JP on it now but will replace with hydraulic)
What can i expect top end with the right setup?
I am going to keep the trolling motor setup as 24V.
Any feedback is appreciated. Phil
