I like your idea of the outboard on these boats. How fast should it run with a single outboard? I know it depends on horsepower, but lets say with a 200 or 225, how fast might it go?

Trust me those old Carrera's are rock solid. They weigh a bit but they ride like cadillacs. Post a pic of your boat.

Re: I'm Back......
Pantera 24,
I was wondering if you ran the boat prior to beginning your resto.
.......if so how did it perform with the 200 O/B(planning and speed)!?! I am curious how the heavier boat performed with a 2.4/2.5L outboard on it. Thanks.......... Jason

Jason,
I ran it only briefly up to plane because I was in a no wake zone. But it seemed to respond quickly. As for top speed I really don't know but I will guess 50-52 with the stock 200. I will definetly let you know in the next month or so.
