Not if they don't leak. I would check out that motor with someone that knows motors.
Good Luck!

That top deck would be a plus.

How much?

The extra weight would surely make it ride better.

If you don't want it I may.

I thought it might be a cousin to the Catamaran Cruiser but the fiberglass toons look different.

That is FUN waiting to happen. the only problem, with the top, it might be a little difficult to pull on the trailer--catch a lot of wind. GO FOR IT.

It does look like a fun boat. I also like the fact that the toons have somewhat of a planing hull type design. If the boat didn't weigh too much, and had a good 150 hp. I would guess this could plane out. I would have the motor checked over, and make sure the floor is in good order, then go for it. :thumbsup
