Sounds like good fun..
And as for the little Garmin, looks great, quite fancy one myself now as my plotter is nearly as old as me and my depth gauge - useless!! :lol:

The little Stryker 4 is a lovely bit of kit for the money especially as it includes the transducer

Found out today that the 15 hp 4 stroke mariner I have on this boat is the same engine that is the 20 hp only detuned. It is possible to get the Carb for the 20 hp to upgrade it. Do you all think that an extra 5 hp so 15 - 20 hp would make much difference to the top speed etc

Dennis. I inquired about upgrading my Suzuki 50Hp to 60HP on my old boat. Had the same block apparantly. Was told it really was not worth it. Cost of all the parts etc. But it was a 4 stroke non carb version.
