where is that boat?/and what were the numbers w/377's

If I remember correctly the twin small block Scorpions went into the purple "Barny Boat" 28!! Went to the guy who owned the one and only tripple engine 36/37 (lake Winni..??in the N.E). Wow, Pats pulling out some historic photos!!! I still have pics of the Tripple 36, The first 37 Step, I may even have the Staggered 600 boat.....

Your going to open a can of words with this one.

so there were 3 twin engine 28's built? SL told me there was a twin 28 up in NH...w/100+more hp I'm guessing that the twin 377's ran upper 70's? Pat or J Pulsare, you recall?

Pat!!! your killin me. I want one with the biggest small block they got.:D

notched transom
 

Jafo posted on here a while back that his old 28 did not have a notch; not sure but I thought it was a 1999 model. Probably a removable portion of the mold?

I was thinking more of a 300X! But a 400hp small block would be sweet too.

Yes, some were built with the notch using an insert into the mold...

Spillman, I never got to run the Scorpion boat...boat I did have some fun in yours when John G. owned it!! Your boat always looked bad ass idling up the intercoastal..people would stare! It was an attention getter everywhere it went! There was a lot of debate back then..single HP 500 vs twin small blocks in the 28. I liked the idea of twins plus it definitly looked (and sounded) better squatting in the water! Pat probably remembers what the Scorpion boat ran. There was also a 28 with a 502 that was Pro-Charged on the west coast of Florida...I believe that boat was the first 28 with a Cabin Liner.

I just like the sound of a V/8 and it looks so much cleaner...... Buy the way, Pat thanks for the pics of the banchees I saved those:D

Raylar is making an all aluminum 550hp smallblock. I think I read that a pair of these is equal in weight to a big block.
Did I mention that you would have 1100hps.:cool-smiley-011:
I first read about these when the 33 was coming out and thought it would be a great setup for it.

twin sb vs. bbc
 

That would push the 28 into the 90's!! When my motors get to 500hrs I plan to do something more than just uppers...but I bet those Raylar 550's cost big $$$. I considered just rebuilding the 350's & Procharging.

How about you sell it to me and step on up to a 33 or somethin'!!!:D

Whats a Raylar LSM550 worth?
 

Our new LSM550"s are a "DEAL" for 10 good reasons!
Consider this:
1. They are hand built -"blueprinted" forged internal motors.
2. They are all aluminum -weigh less than 500lbs.
3. Closed cooled- with oversize oil cooling
5. Come stock with polished stainless headers
6. Have variable cam timing and run on 89 pump gas!
7. Make over 560 ft/lbs of torque
8. Can run in front of a BRAVO 1X drive all day long without the higher cost the Big Block drive of comparable power will need!
9. They will fit where two big blocks won't!
10. We are going into larger production where we should be able to keep the cost in the medium to high $20K range with 1 year warranties.

Price a HP525 for comparison.
Try doing that with a big block for that kind of cost.!

We'll see what next year brings. With fuel costs going up I like the sb's...still a great offshore boat w/twins, just burns 60% less fuel!

So what is the disp.?
Wish I had the ca$h!

and now you know the rest of the story. :cool-smiley-011:

Chris if you had 2 of those Raylars in your boat it would be a rocket. They sound very impressive.

Blast Off
 

YES, they do....& yes it would be!...hmmmm..??..

A pair of those in a cover-girl cabin, poker run version of the 33AVH would make for a VERY interesting boat.......:cool-smiley-011:.

450 cu. in. :drink:

Nice...what a package that is..even for the 33 or a 32. Of course I'm imagining a pair in the 28!

Chris, I can get a good deal on some GM crate motors, 400HPs. That oughta make your hair tingle!:D
