Hi Y'all,I am Jerry DeRay from Ft.Walton Beach Fl.and I am probabaly
going to buy an Adventure Craft this year.I plan to cruise to New
England via ICW.I also am looking at a used 2002 in Minnasota for
sale,she is loaded with all the options and was stored indoors.My main
concern is that she has a 90 HP honda four stroke,and I wonder if this
will be enough HP to navagate some of the bays and sounds along the way
ie Long Island sound.If anyone has any feed back or ideas on this I
would appericiate your views. Thanks,Jerry

Jerry: I purchased my Adventurecraft new with a 90hp Honda and found it to be unsufficient so replaced it with a 130hp Honda and it has made all the difference in the world as to handling the boat. The new 135hp honda or 150hp Yahama (the 150hp Yahama weighs the same as the 135hp Honda) will solve your problem. Bob Dunn j@ red3...@aol.com

Red3times,Thanks for your input.I talked to Ron Spealman today and I'll be ordering a new boat with the Honda 135 soon. Again thanks,Jerry DeRay

Hi Jerry
Can you put me in contact with the owner of the 90hp AC? I've been
looking for one for some time and have had two of them purchased out
from under me so to speak or rather just wasn't quick enough with the
offer.

Many thanks
