thanks I will try and get a hold of him this week. I'm not sure on that drive, if one could buy the boat say 8gs then run it for a season then for 3000 to 4500 you could replace it with a used b1 drive. the 460 you could build a little or move that to a jet boat guy.theres all so a 24 banana boat with twin obs for sale for 16000 on the banana site its a friends ex race boat its solid new everything. I WILL HAVE MINE ON THE MARKET NEXT YR I think. I want a 28 joker or my buds 31sutphen which has a blown motor454, I would put to of the 509s in art

Hi Owen106,

I have a 1988 240 Sport that I’m thinking of selling. The boat has a new 502 (kind of new, little over 100 hr.) that was put in 3 years ago by the previous owner. I purchased the boat 2 years ago and have that bug… need a bigger boat bug. The boat is a solid boat. I would need to get $17,000.00 to sell it. PM me if you are interested or have any questions.

Thanks,
Speed

I know someone that was selling a 1989 Baja 240 Sport. It had a race engine in it with a blower and dual quad setup. He was asking $11k for it in July of this summer. It hasn't run in 7 years. He had it stored in his warehouse. It's in south Jersey. Call me if you want more information.

You can find a nice boat for $10K. I sold my 1990 250es for $13K and it's a trouble free boat. Find something with decent stock power and a bravo1

Where are you located?

stock power is boring unless you like to go 60 to 67, I have run between 585 and 670hp na for 12 yrs never broke a drive I bent one valve with the 585 and 11yrs later had a roller rocker stud break and for the time it took to remove a valve cover replace it maybe one hour I was back on the water. you can build 600hp easy these days and be dependable. now blowers thats the un starts, head gaskets, burnt pistons, valves. and with a shorty drive you can pick up more speed I LOVE THE 80 PLUS SPEEDS. art

sounds like something to look at you can rebuild the motor na over the winter and sell or use the blower, if its been in side for 7yrs the gel will be in good shape art

I had more trouble with my 330hp 454 that came with my boat so after 2yrs I bought a 502 merc , that was a waste of 10,000 I should have started from scratch and built a dart 540 or 572 back then , a 598 will be the next motor a nice 825hp nothing like cubes for power. art
