I just bought a pair PowerTech 4 bladed props from Shipyard Island Marine. The guys at Power tech knew what I needed. My twin F115;s run much better now, it was worth every penny.

http://www.tradeonlytoday.com/home/506271-southport-boats-halts-operations-will-be-sold Southport Boats suspended operations pending a sale of the company's assets by American Global Yacht Group, which purchased Southport's assets last June. Operations were suspended last week, Southport's former CEO, Frank Longino, told Soundings Trade Only this morning. About 15 employees will be affected by the suspension, he said. "AGYG originally purchased Southport as part of a strategic plan to purchase and manufacture Southport Boats, as well as other boat brands, and market those brands through AGYG boat and yacht sales locations," the company said in a statement. "Subsequent to the Southport purchase, however, AGYG exited the boat sales and brokerage business and closed all their locations, leaving Southport's boat manufacturing operation the only AGYG operating subsidiary," the company added. The sale includes all assets of the company, the trade name and records, and can be completed with or without the lease on Southport's 52,000-square-foot facility in Leland, N.C. "Southport remains a strong brand, with over 400 units in the field and an involved, supportive customer base," Longino said. "We anticipate a quick and orderly sales process. There's been quite a lot of interest."

That is one sweet looking ride...Congrads

Always liked those boats. Do they do any front seating?

Talk about a meltdown..WOW, I guess the guys at Midnight only know how to handle good press. In the reel (LOL) world press aint always good, most people in business or public service know this little fact....

Obviously a bad inlet and one for only the experienced. Also not a place to not have all your concentration going. It looked like the Coast Guard had a lot less issues with the inlet being they were on a planing type hull. Cool video thanks for posting

If you are looking at something that is being sold by National Liquidators be prepared for the run around. Many people try to get serious with them and they are hard to deal with apparently, I vaguely was considering a bid on a boat they had a few years ago but decided against it after reading about numerous people having gotten fed up with them.

I am sure in a 23 foot situation we are talking outboards and not diesel engines, totally different animal so Sig is not in question. As far as filters, whether you have a single or twins you should be carrying spares? Again, after one time of being stranded with weather moving in your opinion might change... Good Luck all

If you are worried what little bit extra you might be spending in gas in a twin versus single situation maybe offshore boating is not the right sport... #1 concern on my boat is safety and twin engines are just that a safety feature. While I agree most new engines are more reliable than older, plenty of things can happen other than gas and spun prop to stop an engine.... The other thing to remember is that the bad gas situation will show itself much earlier than when you get 30+ miles offshore fishing...

I have twin 06 F115's Yamahas with almost 500 hours no problems.

The first time you get caught out 20 miles plus with a broke boat you will wish you had twins...... For 3 years now I have owned my first twin engined boat. It really helps put me at ease being I run out 40 + miles. I have a sailfish 2360 with twins and have very little I can say negative about the boat. It really is a very good ride and easily converts to a family cruiser. Good Luck

Looks like a sweet deal... Wish I was in the market...Nice older Mako...

I have used Lenco in the past and had great service also...It was a warranty issue

You dont get arrested for rumors and it was not the Choas incident it was something about lights of some kind... But the case was dropped..
