I have the opportunity to buy a 1989, 201 DCR w/ a 200hp Mariner at a pretty good price. It needs some cleaning, sanding and polishing but I don't think it'll take much to make it shine. I haven't looked at it in person yet, it's 4.5 hrs away.
I already have a '91, 184 DCR w/ a Pro-V 175 Yamaha that'll run 65 consistently.
Questions are...
Would I be gaining anything at all over my 184? Ride, speed, etc.
Will a properly set up 201 run with a 202 speed wise with equal hp motors? Are they even close to the same hull?
What is the correct jack plate and prop for the 201/ 200hp Mariner combo.
Is a single axle trailer OK for a 20' boat?
What's the gas tank capacity on a 201?
I've already been down the rotten transom road with mine and I'll check this one out a lot better if I decide to buy it.
What is it worth in fair condition with old/outdated everything?
Thanks
Brian
