    Bayliner Capri 2150 resurrection.

    93 Mercury 115hp Adding a 5" extension

    Been a while since I posted. This year we got to play in the intercoastal and sound around Edisto Island, SC. The old repowered boat ran perfect and allowed us to go places you can't to by car. The extension did its job great made a world of difference keeping the powerhead up higher. I'm...
