Shogren BT bought?
 
Gone from the website. Gone from boat trader? Did someone get it?

should have been. I was told by Scott Shogren, 75k could have it.

New owner of the Shogren BT
 
Just became a member of OSO and noticed the inquiry about the Shogren BT. Very excited about being a BT owner. Even though my first few outings with the boat were nothing but headaches and problems. Wish I only paid the 75k mentioned in an earlier thread. Nothing but problems with this boat since the first hour of owning it,. Any ways looking forward to a fresh start this coming summer.

I looked at that boat at Shogren's open house, at that time I was told the boat was sold.

Sorry to here about your headaches

I experienced some minor problems out of the gates. fuel pump went, trim tab line blowing off, out drive leaking. Got those resolved and after just a few more hours totally blew the portside motor. good news is both motors are out now and being rebuilt. The boat came with Prochargers on it. Can anyone tell me how their BT performes with twin 500efi's? I am still debating on whether to keep the prochargers on or not. Also wondering what type of props perform well? The boat has Bmax drives.

My friend has a 46 EC 2002 500efi's... He runs 70-71.

You may want to ask around about these drives. I was really close to heading north to trade up on your boat but after enquiring about the Bmax I opted out

John P/Waconda has a 46 w/850's and bmaxs. After he rebuilt the drives himself and cryoed the gears, he hasn't had a failure.

endeavor1 put bmax drives on his this BT year...he may be able to help ya out on this issue.

endeavor1 12-05-2009 09:34 AM
I'm done with Bmaxs. Also, my BT is headed to Montreal. Looks like a flatdeck may be in the cards. If anybodys gonna work on the BMAX go to JR Marine or beg Waconda. They are the good guys.

Dirty Deeds 12-07-2009 08:09 PM
Thanks for the input. For now I'm stuck with the drives, so I will make do. However I am still looking for tips on props if anyone has one?

endeavor1 12-10-2009 05:26 PM
1.3 ratio x 650-700hp probably need a 28. Just a guess probably gonna be close.
