If you are looking at used boats, the Legend Alpha 199 fits. Mine was a rocket ship with that 225 on it. Just so happen to have one of those for sale Wawi! Tried to pm you but it's full. Check out the Classifieds under trading posts/swap section and take a look at my 199. How much room do you have in your garage? Good looking rig, I'll probably buy new, I'm kinda itchy for the new 4 stroke merc.

Just get a boat and put whatever ya want in the back. Only the TFF lawyers give a [censored]. Lol. I just finished putting a LS8 supercharged crate motor in a ‘70 Chevelle. 700-990hp depending on fuel and tune. I don’t think the insurance companies give a damn either way that it now has triple the original power. I’m sure a boat rated for 200 or 225 will simply be BETTER with a 250. Same weight on the transom, gonna fish the same, same length on the trailer, it’s just gonna holeshot and handle better.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Well that won’t work if you take your Chevrolet to the drag strip in a sanctioned race. Your horsepower will matter which class your in. In a fishing tournament over horse powered is not allowed either.

In a fishing tournament over horse powered is not allowed either. WAWI doesn’t do tournaments. That’s why he is “What’s A Weigh In”. He’ll be fine with a 450R on the back of a Z19. As for the Chevelle? The customer doesn’t do “sanctioned event” racing. Mainly the street “in the middle of the night” club kinda stuff. Where the money ain’t in a Check or gift card.

I'll let test drive my Caracal with the Merc 4 stroke on PK Wawi all you want, but showing me a few of those hydrilla patches will be part of the deal

Blazer 595 Pro Elite. Might be the best deal you can get anywhere on a new 19'.

Storage on my Caracal is longer than my Eyra and the Eyra is 4" longer but it had a 2 stroke on it.
Basscat's website shows the Caracal storage is 1" longer than the Eyra.

What's your definition of "Rocketship" Not a rocketship if you are comparing it to one of your bullets with a RACING motor on the back of it. I am no boat speed like you expert but I out ran a lot of boats. This was just a factory boat with a a standard ProXS 225. So, to me it was a rocketship. I sued to miss the hole shot and speed of that boat but REALLY like the room of the V-20. I won't be getting a new boat for many years unless someone decides to start making that boat again, which I have heard some rumors that just might happen.
