[QUOTE="thill, post: 343107, member: 4972"] The boat is a 1957 Crestliner Viking 710 that has been gutted out, the front hood cut back, and a large front deck added. The motor is a 1994 Evinrude 25 short shaft. Here is the original brochure- mine is the " 710- decked," the top right picture, pulling the waterskiiers and the third floor plan from the left. The one with the windshield and only two bunks: [url]https://retrocrestliner.com/images/1957catalog%20p9and10.jpg[/url] Here is a picture of my boat currently: [url]https://retrocrestliner.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=745[/url] I could re-do the transom up to a 20" and use a 40 HP that I already have, but I don't want to add all that extra weight to the back, and the remote controls, if I can help it. That 40 weighs TWICE what this 25 does. I like the additional seaworthiness the lighter rear end gives me. The 25 pushes the boat well- about 25 MPH- but if I could get a little more power without gaining weight, that would be ideal. Let me know. Thanks. -TH [/QUOTE]
