    It won't exactly hit 100mph...or 50 for that matter. But it's a clean 1978 Allison XST with 90hp Evinrude. Boat and trailer have been upgraded nicely and a price that I couldn't believe. Can't wait to put her in the water.

    Congrats! I've had several old 17 footers. You are going to love the ride. the last one I had I put a 90 on it and it ran over 55. Put you a 115 on there and you'll see 65 and handle like a dream. Enjoy it!!

    That sounds like something another feller with the same front name as yours would do

    Re: (BCXB2003)

    Your motor says 140. Is that correct? If so I had one just like it with an old 140 Johnson that ran about 65+.
