[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 257973, member: 7791"] Welcome to tinboats. Ok I really like the boat. Mirrorcrafts are good solid boats IMO. My neighbor has one that I will be doing a floor mod on this summer and it is a very well built tin. As for the motor there leaves a lot to be desired. That is the 22 cubic inch block 20-35hp engine, small compared to the 31.8 cubic inch blocks of 74' and later. It does not look in good condition at all and it is at best putting out about 17hp in that year. The only positive that motor really has is it was probably lightest 20 hp motor ever made. Beyond that there is not much positive about that motor : ( I also noticed the back cowling (engine cover) of that motor is split in two, it may have been backed into a seawall or tree? [-X Motor has a value of maybe 100 bucks for parts IMO and that is being optimistic. If the motor runs well and it is just you in the boat expect to do about 20mph maybe? The post 85' 20hp johnys will get you around 25mph just to give you a comparison. [/QUOTE]
