IO Blowers

Is there any issues with installing mailboxes on an inboard outboard boat? Will 250hp give me enough power to be effective.

Thanks
Larry

Gas motors will not have the torque and blowing power of diesel, but will still work. IO wont work as efficient as inboard because of the exhaust mixed with the propwash, and smaller props, but it will work.

Thanks Steve. That is kinda what I thought. It is still a nice boat to dive from. I really want a diesel boat anyway. Just looking for enough reasons to convince momma into letting me get another boat.

If you want to take a shortcut and just buy something that will surely blow a hole in the sand you could just buy this boat I ran across while looking for something much much cheaper on Craigslist.
Diesel engines and blowers premounted. Just seeing the ad on Craigslist made me go buy a lottery ticket just in case "today's the day".
I have no knowledge of this vessel and no financial interest in it. (darn it)

I believe that boat is docked in downtown Fort Myers. Sailed past it several times on my way up to the glades boatyard. It may be a bit larger then what I want. But what a dream
