Two optimax's around 35K new. rigging another 8K +++ body work to fill the holes from the drives, so I'd say 40-55K total and a big hole under the hatch. Would be cheaper to put a couple big blocks and your drives may be good? I'm finding some good deals on good rebuilt motors.

Pretty sure the triple o/b setup was on a 32, but same concept. It would be worth the phone call though!! Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained!!!!
What power was in the boat??
