If he were to be "racing", bravo three's are not the drives to race with. These boats only move if you put alot of horses behind them. Great boats though. Love mine

Maybe he was racing cruisers for money? Did the B3, bottom paint and would rattle can "Rinker" down the side in green over cream for total sleeper mode?

Actually you said, "original motors" which to me means you were saying that is how the boat came from the factory.

If the engines are changed they are no longer "original".

And a pair of 500's in that hull is far from crazy. You should consider building at least that type of hp if you want some decent speed out of it.

Post more pics of the boat!

Looks like a 280. Take a pic from the side showing the whole boat and the windshield. A 280 really can't be mistaken for any other model.

You are planning on 454 700hp naturally aspirated ?????????????????????


I agree, take some pictures of your progress. They are easily uploaded to photobucket.com then just copy and paste the img code from the picture in your reply. Threads like these need pictures!
