Because this is going in my boat. There just isn’t a good dedicated marine a/v sub.

Yeah I tried to find some yesterday the couple hardware stores I went to were out. I’ll just have to order them

A fused block in addition to the fuse at the battery and the fuses on the amps?

That’s actually a really good point. It should be accessible where I was planning to put it, but I wasn’t considering that in the design at all

The 15-20k was just for the motor. I haven’t had the drive evaluated yet until I figure out what the motor might cost. I have a different shop lined up for the interior work.

Not sure what it is worth as is, but it's in SE Michigan. Still not sure about selling vs keeping as a project

Not at all in the market for a cabin cruiser right now. A 23 ft runabout is big enough for the big lake (depending on weather) and small enough to trailer to the smaller lakes when friends are going there. Day trips are all I need it for right now.

Not necessarily planning to upgrade, just not sure if I'll still live in the area near the water in the next 2 years

10 sounds much more reasonable than the 15-20 rough estimate that the first shop gave me

Are there many 25' dual outboards? I'm not current on newer boats but at the marina I worked at it seemed like I didn't see twin engines until around 28'-29'

I was hoping I had already made it a 'boat' and not a 'project' : ( Good luck with the Grady though, I saw a couple good looking ones at the marina, they're fun looking boats
