Welcome to the forum Tony Y

I'd be looking at buying a boat to suit my needs.

By the time you make all the mods and the cost of them I'd reckon

it probably not worth it.

Just saying.

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.
