Thanks Angry51, That was my initial thought also until I asked around and did some calcs. I’m pretty confident I could get it set up including the bells and whistles for around 50k. Looking around at what the market is doing and the ‘Darwin’ factor that’s around 15-20k saving. Happy to be told otherwise. There’s no rush either with the lead times on boats and motors at the moment so don’t mind having a project to work on.

Hello all, Pretty new to the whole forum thing but I thought I would reach out to get some advice or hear some experiences from others. I’m in the market for a new boat and I am considering purchasing a Quintrex Fishseeker and modifying it to suit my needs, i.e. console, larger fuel tank etc. One thing I would want to do is have more hp as the current max on the hull is 90 (maybe go up to 130/140hp). knowing that I will have to get re-rated my question is should I be considering having to install a pod or just go straight off the transom as is? Which would perform better? Cheers.
