Caught my eye, there are quick release pins holding the drive tie-bar to each drive, is this standard fair for racers in the day?!? I have never seen that before. Maybe I'm just blind.

Looks like a Thru Hull on the bottom with no hose attached....:eekdrop:

Yes they run, low hours since rebuild, I'm pulling of a valve cover and some plugs out in the next day or so to take a look inside with a scope. Drives have lots of corrosion on lowers, trannies shift fine. I'm looking for a set of lowers or cheap set of drives so I can water test her.
THANKS for posting the pics Wannabe!!!!!

Yes there are quick pins on the saddles..... Yes the hoses were removed during the winterization process, it's all back together now.

Adrenaline- happy to help. I left out the one with the head.....

Looks like a kool boat. That trailer is way to short for that boat.

Yes it is but it was an on the spot deal so I took my 300 Scarab off it and had to do what ever it took to get the boat. Tailgate ended up in the truck for the first part of the trip back and boat was almost in the bed....lol.

Any idea of what this boat is worth or what speeds she should run anyone???

With all that corrosion on the lowers and engines- not a lot.

Speed- 65?

Drives have been replaced, pulled exhaust off and it looks good, motors have 40 psi of oil pressure at idle hot.. Going to do a compression test then power wash the motors, wire brush and paint them this week if they test good. Pulled all the valve covers off and they look like new.
