Need to see an engine bay shot. Think you could get one of these in a 20' Cigarette?

I say take out the engines, give him $15K for the hull and trailer, and have yourself a great project boat! :D

Did you mean great puzzy boat? :D

I saw this a while back with various pics. It was heavily modified with the engine computers on the bulkhead of the forward facing seat and the batteries in the hanging locker behind. The, I don't know, maybe two 12" or more exhaust cut into the transom/hatch. Also, those are Russian Turbines, have fun finding parts!

I hate to say it about a Bullet, but I don't think it's worth even 15K. It's a lost cause.

I can probably dig up the pics if anyone is serious about it...

i wouldnt go that far,

dump 15k in it for boat and trailer, buy 2 used 502/500hp's for 10k each, new transom 5k, so your into a bullet with good power and B1 drives, new transom and trailer for 40k

oreo11zeus 04-23-2008 06:33 PM

Talk about a niche buyer = offer 10K

Unfin Believable!

carter38 04-24-2008 10:35 AM

wow thats a project

Clay Washington 04-24-2008 11:00 AM

OMG! Yeah, $15K is too much. How can someone phuck up a Bullet like that! It's just sad. :(

To me, there are just too many unknowns, not the least of which is how hot do those turbines get and is it hot enough to turn the surrounding fiberglass brittle? I thought that fuel economy on turbines was poor, all this work for just 800hp and maybe 1000lb less weight?

If someone were looking at this as a project boat, you pull the turbines and sell them for what, a few hundred each. 5-8K to fix the hatch and transom. 3-4K to redo the cabin. 5K to rewire and new dash. 3K for cockpit. 30K for a pair of engines and drive rebuild/exchange.

Where are we at now....
46K on the low side and 50K on the high?
Even if you got the boat for 10K, you can easily have more in it than it's worth.
Only way it can be done is if the buyer is an engine builder and can do the wiring himself.

Sorry, I just see the glass half empty :)
