Hi Guys,
I own a 1979 22' Tripp Angler and I am considering repowering my boat from a 350 Chevy inboard to a diesel.
Currently I have a 350/5.7 Marine Power with a 1.5:1 velvet drive gear box. She tops out at about 4200 RPM's at 30+kts. I don't need all that speed. I never run it over 20kts.
Any recommendations on engines? I am only looking for a 17-18 kt cruise max!
Any advice from Sisu 22' owners would be great too since these two boats are very similar.
Thanks,
Pat
