Bayfisher34 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Just bought this bayfisher 18. It has been all redone (new wiring, 4 new jl's, new amp, new rod holders, poling platform, and some other stuff, also the whole deck and hull was just painted). Getting a new 140 hp Suzuki this week too. Anyone else have a redone lappy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiago Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I just bought a 91 bonefisher and am just starting to restore it. It was repowered with a ‘15 90 Etec. I have always owned Yamaha and Suzuki. I have to say that I love this engine on this boat. It has a great whole shot. I was a little worried about the weight and performance with the four stroke on it reading some of the posts on here on repowering a lappy bonefisher. Not sure if there is a discussion here about your 18 but I would trade power for ride but it depends what you’ll be doing. Maybe some of the guys here can help with that. The Zuki 90 I had was a great engine for my 18 ft Vantage but it topped out at about 35mph and would be a lighter hull than that lappy. Good luck with the project I will be interested to see where you end up on it. I owned a 96 redfisher new back in the day. It was one of my best boats.

What I like to do is post and check it out and if it is not positioned correctly, open it up in windows paint and rotate it appropriately. It's just the way the OS interprets the image. Take a look above. I corrected it for you !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has 4 brand new jl's, a brand new jl amp, new wiring, new batteries, new led cockpit lights, new gauges and throttle, all repainted, new poling platform, new undergunnel rod holders, and a jackplate.

JEM Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I might be way off base, but that color is an awesome color for a bay or flats boat. MBG ought to offer that as a standard, non-custom, color! With the white deck and white motor, it is a beautiful combination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw-Great motor choice. Zuke 140 probably the best motor out there for the money IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
