Helix 5 DI, MinnKota 80#. 40 mph speedo. "New to the boating world
but love this boat. I've put a lot of time into it already but does
great on he water. Hard to find info on it though. Would love to hear
from others with this model. The old 1965 Merc 1000 runs almost perfect.
It's actually impressive." |
