Restoring/upgrade my Classic 73

Postby Classic 73 » Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:49 pm

Hi guys I'm new to the fourm. And have a few questions. I am kinda restoring my old 16/17 whaler. My first question is the what motor should I go with I want a Mercury. The new 60Hp merc is 260 pounds. The new 90hp is 363 pounds. Both motors are the new Seapro model. Is the 90 going to be to much weight on the back of the hull? Next question is has any one put a 3rd generation mid 1990s center console on the old hull? And one more question. Should I have the hull regelcoated or Painted? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Brad.
