I'll spare you the details, but I'm on the board and I have to follow the rules exactly.

Re: Overall Length with Engine Trimmed Up: 190 or 170 MONTAUK

I pulled my boat out. Curiosity wins. Think: how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? Engine_tilted_distance2.jpg This is a 20-inch shaft E-TEC 90 engine. Measurement was from the top of the transom to the farthest point, the tip of the Viper 19 propeller. Fantastic a...

Re: Overall Length with Engine Trimmed Up: 190 or 170 MONTAUK

The overall length of the boat remains the same, as the boat length does not include the engine. I understand the length of the boat does not change, but I wasn't sure how much to add to the LOA with the engine cowling plus lower [unit] trimmed out of the water. Are your neighbors really going to m...
