Hey guys thanks for the welcome. Yeah my OB version was on craigslist. The white one on the right I picked up about a month ago, sitting for years. According to Christine Sutphen it used to belong to a friend of theirs. When he had the boat it had small blocks. The cap has four holes in it which are wider than normal.The guy who was storing it said at one time somebody had BB's in it. She actually sent me some photo's of it in a parade with them in it, and one at the dock. Someone painted the boat white, as in everything, glass, fittings and all?? go figure. I am redoing the whole thing with a couple of stout smallblocks and we'll see what it runs. Motors should be about 320hp each on the conservative side. I have heard these boats run anywhere from 60 to 78 mph stock but I have no idea. Only had the OB out for a test run and it was knocking on 70's door with 26 choppers and 2.4 200's. Interior is flawless and exterior needs a little buffing.
