Found this 1990 Dual Console that has seen little use over it's life. The Black Max had not been run since 2011 and to my surprise it fired right up. Took it out once with the 150 Black Max and love it so far. Paid 3700 and have since sold the Black Max for 1700 to make way for a new 150 Mercury 4 Stroke. Hopefully the 4 stroke will perform just as well or better than the 2 stroke. Thankfully the transom was solid as a rock when I took the Black Max off. I think it was a great deal for a great boat and will hopefully be a red snapper and cobia catching machine.

CONGRATS. Don't see to many of the dually's. The 4 stroke will weigh a bit more, won't have the same grunt out of the hole(a 2 stroke has twice as many power pulses per crank revolution than a 4 stroke, and you're going from a 6 to a 4 cylinder engine to boot), but will probably get close to double the milage. Once you get it propped right, I'm sure you will be VERY happy with it.
 
Thanks, love the bow on this model, it's huge. I found this while looking to replace my old Chris Craft 211 Scorpion. They're very similar hulls. I'm hoping that after I add some hyrdaulic trim tabs it rides as good as the Chris Craft did.

Nice boat there is another guy on the site that has one just like it.. Where are you from? I've only seen one other in my area ... 1000's of cc an center consoles

Good luck an watch your grammar on the site :zip:
 
Very nice, best of luck with it.

You've already got lucky..........that's a rare rig and should be selling for $ 100,000
 
I bought this boat in Baton Rouge, Louisiana which is where I live. I have personally seen 2 of these models in Louisiana and hundreds of Cuddys. I don't know why they weren't as popular as the Cuddy or CC models as they offer protection from the wind and the nice open bow. I'm looking forward to getting it re-powered and seeing what it can do. I did have to repair the hatch that's over the fuel tank which had rotten wood but that was easily accomplished.
 
I repowered in 2007 with the 200 E Tec, and I had hydraulic steering install that same year. Every year I try to do something new as its my only hobby.
 
Really nice job on yours, I'm just getting started with mine but it's inspiring to see what can be done. What's your top speed with the etec 200? What about cruising speed?
 
You are luckyyyyy !!!!!!!!! That hull seems like it was put on a freezer and kept sealed for years !!!!!!! Make sure you check the condition of the hull to upper deck sealant ( the lip or edge ), mine leaked a bt through there and got my clothes wet in the cabin. Other than that, there is no way you can break that boat !!!!!
