Thaks for all your answers

But I have couple more questions to ask

Bob how fast would 19ft bernico be with stock 150hp??
I will be using it as a pleasure boat. I think I will buy 4stroke engine to this boat. I know that they aren't high performance engines but there any couple reasons why I want 4 stroke.

Second thing is why argo website isn't working??
Is any other place where can I find specs of those boats??

Budget isn't huge problem because I'm not buying boat now but I'm planning to buy it and If I won't buy it next year I will buy it in 2 years. I'm not racing and I'm changing boats once per 8-10 years ( I have my clubman for 8 years now) and that is why I want to know what would be the best for me. I don't want to spend my money for boat I will not like

Anyway there are some cool boats like b-23 made by ocke mannerfelt or similliar boat like backdraft.
But I think that they need some more power than 150hp

Last think. I know boatsandoutboards.co.uk
Can you tell me if there are some other website where can I find some boats??

Thanks Again
MIKE

The b23 ocke mannerfelt def needs more than 150hp and is tandem deck (backdraft also) so if your not gonna race i wouldnt go for one of these! Cant really go wrong with a phantom in my opinion!

[OCRDA]

19 ft Boat with 150 will be good for about 60 mph , mine does 60+ with 130 yam & would be similar top speed with 115-140 4 stroke not much to be gained with 150 4 stroke maybe just some extra grunt , wasted moving the extra weight.

Have you tried to call Harry Argo ?

boatsandoutboards is the main online independant to look for boats. the other sites are more specific ie phantomuk.co.uk or www.bernico.be etc,

[Rockey]

try

www.boatshop24.com

www.boat-for-sale.co.uk

www.boatshed.co.uk

I believe 150hp Honda weight less than 130hp
But offcourse there is very light Suzuki 140hp

Is your yamaha stock?? What about lower unit?? Did you put nose cone??

[OCRDA]

140 Suzuki is the lightest of 4 strokes. My 130 is as it came out of the box , the only mod is nylon engine mounts.

I dont think i would want the weight of a honda on a 19' boat !!

Bob

[Mike_G]

So 19' bernico with 140hp suzuki, good propeller, nose cone and some set up time should give me 60mph+...... I think it is nice

Ok last question
Does bernico have V-pad?? Or is it V ??
Which of those boats have V-pad bottom??

Mike

[OCRDA]

Personally have found no real advantage on these engines with nose cone !!
You are starting to move into the realms of Racing !!

A 19' boat with 140 Suzuki with perhaps a 24" laser should give approx 60mph as a std setup! for your suggested use there is no need to lift engine too high or add any extra's

It will run a larger prop than most of the 130-140 hp range due to its very low gear ratio !!

Bob

[OCRDA]

Sorry forgot the bottom , The Bernico has a stepped pad V hull
