Got a little more done. I flipped the cradle over onto the floor. I'll need to brace the frame for the cradles. Beef it up a little so it doesn't twist and warp on me. The boat is next.

Starting to think about motors. Debating whether or not to go with Yamaha or Suzuki. I was thinking of the white Suzuki 70 hp, but it weighs 343 pounds. A Suzuki 60 hp weighs 229 pounds. While a Yamaha 70 hp weighs 253 pounds. The Yamaha 60 hp weighs 247 pounds.

The Suzuki 60 hp sounds good, but will it matter give or take around 100 pounds on the transom for the Panga?
I just think a white Suzuki would look good on this boat. Not really sure what the difference would be with 10 hp.

I have no advice on motor choice but the above link might help you.

Remember that the Pangas plane very easily, are designed to cruise at 25mph and are very sensitive to weight on the transom. I wouldn't go any heavier than 120kg max. I don't see that the extra grunt of the Suk 70 or any motor in that weight class will help. The Yamaha 70 is a nice motor by all accounts but I don't know how often you would use the extra 10hp over either of the 60hp in those brands. I would go with any 60hp from a major brand but no heavier unless it was free.

There is a Panga25 with a 90 Honda. That boat is much bigger than yours and preforms well apparently.

I LOVE my Yamaha 70 and it has made my OD 18 a new boat compared to the 40 I ran on it for years. At 253 lbs it is just 3 lbs over 120 kg. I get almost the same fuel economy as most of the time I am way below WOT when running. 4 days in the Keys last summer, including a trip off shore, only burned 16 gallons of gas. Suzuki makes an excellent engine, but if weight is an issue I would go with the Yamaha and not worry about the color. Grey will look fine on that boat.

JAsmine got 31mph+ with a F60. How much extra $ is the 70 Stateside? I would be surprised if you see a lot of extra speed on that hull, but if the difference was only a few $ I'd go with that.

If I can get 30 mph, I'd be happy with that. I haven't really compared prices yet. I do know that the Suzuki 60 weighs less than all of them.

1 year and 1 month, the boat is finally flipped. Flipped it with 4 people total. Two adjusting the chains on the houst and two flipping the hull within the straps. It was flipped in 10 minutes.
