I knew it sank but didn't know that it sat wet for a long period of time. It would take several years to cause that though.

I never laid eyes on the boat when it went for sale the first time several years ago, before the owner whose son put made a dirty martini out of it; BUT a member here went to inspect it with 3 other boaters/members. He did not like it's condition, and came to us to build/buy a new one instead.

I'm not sure on specific timeframes, but I'd have to guess that its been about 4-5 years since it was a running boat.

Looking for motors now!! Anybody have any leads?
Budget is $10-$20k for a pair of motors. 500-650HP

Yeah saw those...am thinking of those or found a set of higher hour 500EFIs for a couple $K more...

I like efi, so am un-sure if I want to go to more HP carb! Opinions?

if i were you i would buy this http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o46535-en.html use it until the at is ready for power and swap everything over and unload the boat and trailer for what you can get..has everything including new steering..

fast times

+1 Rob's engines sound sweet and he really looks after his gear.

EFI is nice, but I would take the extra HP and lower hours.

A well tuned carb engine will idle and perform like an efi. They are also very simple to troubleshoot issues without the need for a scan tool.

Some good insight!

What about converting to SSM3?

I found a deal on a turn key boat. 750HP EFI Procharged 540s, hubber 1300s with SSM3s turning 31P 4 blades...

Would it be worth swapping the drivetrain in? Or just find stock power and drives?
