Whats up man,

Boat ran great on sunday, but found a little water in the oil on the port side monday morning. Hopefully not too bad, but I have not gotten the diagnosis yet.

Went to Jamaica last week for the honeymoon. Awesome place. Can't wait to go back.

I've got a different view on the refresh and fixing point you make. A 28 single needs a big engine to get anywhere near 70mph. With big hp engines comes big maintenance and they don't last as long as between rebuilds as say a stock 496. Take this one with the 525. Whats that roughly a $20K motor. I think the stock 496's are close to $10K. So if you blow one in the single thats a big hit. If you blow one of the two on a twin not only do you get a free ride home, but the cost to fix is relatively cheaper when compared to a big hp single. Which one do you think will be more apt to blow. The 525 you'll be running between 4-5000rpms all day on or the twin 496's you'll be running 3-4000rpms all day. Those higher RPM's and weight load the single has to bear will be more maintenance even more so on the outdrive. Granted you won't have to fix two motors/outdrives, but the extra strain on the single is very significant IMO. Just my .02

I guess the way around that is the put a 700nxt in the savage and be able to loaf around 3500rpms, cruise well, and have a stout drive......or tap the high 80's and really run.

Does anyone know anything more about this boat now?

I never got an answer from the guy in the general discussion looking for a surveyor in the area if it was for this boat.

Looks like the tattle tale says 75-76 on the pic of the dash. It is a bad angle though. Anybody know if this boat was saltwater only?

Average top speed for that setup is 73-75.

If you run them Fountain Performance Report style... down wind, down current, a dixie cup of fuel, with only a horse jockey driver that both jumps up off the floor to reduce weight, and ducks at the same time to reduce wind drag...

Yeah, it ought to hit 76 or so.
