20 years younger engine now. E-tec 3.3 H.O.

[KiwiCol]

She look a bit heavy in the stern T24, what size is the E-Tec?  Will the transom handle the extra weight & power I'm wondering.  Reckon she'd flip at speed with a bit of chop / wake on the surface.

It's originally 3.3 liter 200 H.O.(~220hp@ prop shaft). All the weight is near transom at good weather. It faster so.
The transom will handle extra weight very well with trim tabs. Transom is also reinforced and equipped with jack up plate.
But to be honest, it*s not very stabile to ride near top speed, 66.4 knots, 123 kph (gps), with 26" OMC Raker,
which is too small, goes to rev limiter (6150 rpm)

If it's unstable close to 66 knots, best to be safe and limit yourself to a lower, sensible max...say 50 knots

I have Eastern Browns, Red Bellied Blacks and Black Snakes here, along with Red Backs, Scorpions, Trap Door spiders and quite a few others.

By far the one that frightens me most are Kangaroo's. I've hit one hard in my ute, and had several near misses on the bikes.  I always joke that if the wildlife here ever gets me it'll most likely be a bloody Roo.

Sounds like you have it sorted, good on you.  66+knots is waaay faster than anything my boat will do.

That's what took a mate out a couple of years ago, during the day also, hit him and took him straight off the bike .. instant death. Yeah they bother me also and stupid Emus

I wonder if the roo associated casualties exceed the number of casualties caused by the other (more creepy) dangerous animals in AU.

Found some stats for animal related deaths from 2001-2017...

Horses 172, Bovines 82, Dogs 53, Kangaroos 37, Snakes 37, Bees 31, Sharks 27 and Crocodiles 21.

Roo's are the highest or near the top of non domestic.
The others you have a lot more control over.
