The bracketts were still mounted and what looked to be dieseles were installed??? Is Wayyne going to run outboards and diesel inboards??
I think this might be a good idea  .
I figure the boat might run almost 65MPH with inboard diesel and outboards, What an innovative idea .
I am sure somebody hear must know what Wayne's plan is, I have not talked to him latey.
I am not sure that inboard and outboards are not the answer but this could be a very cool old school project.
Who knows whats up in Waynes world?? |
no tell'in with Wayne thats for sure. he changes gears pretty rapidly with that project. i had a buyer lined up to take it off his hands the week before he did the OB conversion. was going to keep pretty much as it was being built with the arnesons, maybe make it into a Systems clone. inspite of having a buyer Wayne had all that bracket work done than called me back to see if the buyer was still interested
. . . uhhh . . . no. Thats a shame about that boat but if you know Wayne he pretty much marches to his own beat.
he even showed me renderings of a flying bridge kind of canopy thingie he wanted to put on that boat. I'll hafta call him and see what he's up to now with that thing. He had a pair of big Iveco/Buzzi diesels at his house last i saw but it sounds strange that he put them in along with the OB's. maybe he actually sold the package and just tossed them in the boat for shipping.
