Is that you in the pic of a ss9m race boat flying out of the water? Looks like a hard landing, but an awesome picture.

Is this the same company making the current CC boats that look sharp?

Not sure if they are now owned by the same people. I know Carrera has changed hands a few times over the years. Im a fan of their older style hulls. I recently purchased a 1989 Carrera ss8m with a single BBC. I think its a great riding and handling boat. Not the fastest boat being 27 Ft long with only a single in it. But I am presently building a 540 to hopefully take care of that problem!

Any idea what an SS8M would run with twin small blocks? I don't know a lot about the boat. How much power would you need to run 75 or so?

The person I bought my ss8m boat from, his brother had the same boat with 2 small blocks and Alpha ss drives. That boat ran over 75 MPH with I believe 400 Hp each. 383 CI motors. The small block boat was alot faster than the single BBC. He did have a problem w/ breaking outdrive parts though.

all i know is that the Picon family is in deep chit after this past weekend in the keys...... because of their yongest son Xavier Picon
