i live life on the edge , but a few steps back from the edge , and holding the guard rail with both hands , and a bungee cord attached to a fat guy even further away from the edge

i sent a deposit on the boat , should be off e-bay in the next couple days , and be in my driveway within the next few weeks , as soon as i can get up there to inspect and pay for it

how much speed is added when you set the motors back 2 feet on a bracket ?
oh yea , any other pics of yours ? my mind is going 72mph with possable upgrades , i love anodized metal

What year are the motors. One motor is older than the other. Notice the colors of the decals. I had an 82 black max which I believe had the brown/tan colored decals. It does state that one motor was rebuilt not replaced. Just something you may want to ask the owner.

thanks Raytart , as long as both motors run strong and even i dont care if there both 78's . for the money i cant beat it.
if i decide to keep it for a while i'll probably just save 5 grand and upgrade to some newer injected powerheads and put em on a bracket , from what i hear 260hp per side gets you close to 80mph , cant beat that with a stick

PM me your e-mail and I'll send some more. Mine ran low 70's with the 200's on the bracket. At one point it had 2.4 240's with CLE's and a previous owner claimed 83mph. I've got 2.5 260 offshore EFI's now with sportmasters. It doesn't like the sportmasters. I need to change the engine height and put my other lowers with BOB's nose cones back on. Like to try some CLE's sometime.

usedpartsgod @ gmail . com , i think the brackets will probably be the first perf mod , if i get into the 70's w/o having to mod the engines i'll be smiling ear to ear.
what are CLE's ? i keep seeing that and dont know what it stands for.

Kreed , done deal on the boat , i had a friend inspect it before i even sent the deposit , bypassed the deposit and went straight to paying for the whole thing , i own it now

Glad it went to a good home. I taped that boat off years ago. If I remember correctly we used to put put a clear coat over the blue. Can't remember for sure like I said it was years ago. You can tell by sanding with 1200 or 1500 sand paper. If it is white color it is clear if it is blue then we didn't clear coat it. Or it could have been buffed off.
