750hp
 
I'm looking at the top Gun in CT, first of all does anyone know the boat. I know where are the pics, I am unable to post so if anyone can post the pics please do. My second question is, will ITS drives hold up at all? It is listed on boat trader and is an 04. Oh by the way engines are naturally aspirated.

send pm to 2thdr on here. he bought my friends 02 with 750's and bravo xr's. i would get his opinion since he has a very similar boat. lots of power on those drives but i bet the boat runs pretty well!!

I would plan on it being a drive eater unless it's babied and run in flat water.

What ^^^^^ He said- I am right at 750 also w Stellings boxes and have eaten my Fair Share of XRs. Switched to SCXs and so far so good.

I really like the "Babied part" lol Like THATS gonna happen!

Vbot24, that's the boat, thanks for posting. Quinlan what did the SCXs set you back?

Schweeng 02-05-2014 07:00 PM

Prepare the cabin with snacks and some other things for the idle back.....it will happen!!!

And a Muffle for the Wife!!
SCX Call CP performance- I just received an add saying they would throw in the helmet, drive res and something else.
It's gonna be 30k ballpark. Or you can rebuild 2+ XRs ea. yr. for 5 yrs. before you think its Worth it.
I still have a set of 1.36XRs if you wanna go That route lol

Yup, see it every weekend in the summer. Nice looking boat in person and I think the TAOD Cigs are worth a little more $$$$ any day of the week over a non-TAOD Cig.

302Sport, what if anything do you know about the boat?

twinscrews 02-15-2014 10:23 AM

302Sport, do you know who owned it prier to has it now? The guy who has it for sale doesn't know who built the motors originally. Man I'm having a hard time finding out anything on the boat.

Also look into why is the exhaust so different from one side to the other , looks really funky on the transom

My buddy has a 2000 with 750 Zuls. He has Imco uppers and sportmaster lowers. Running 5 blade merc props. Never has lost a drive in 6 years of owning the boat. It is all the the throttle hand. His runs 98-100 everyday.

There's nothing wrong with bravos/XR's, they hold up fine to that kind of power... you just don't know how to throttle like some of our resident experts do! :D

fastoys 02-18-2014 08:16 PM

Drives wont hold up if they are xrs no matter how much u baby em. Spend the money on the imco drives. Its not a 16 ft donzi!

SS930 02-19-2014 07:06 AM

WTF is wrong with a 16 ft Donzi?!?!?! :mad::mad::mad:

Sick Stinger 02-19-2014 08:02 AM

The fact you own one is enough of a problem in my book ^

SS930 02-19-2014 08:40 AM

Jealous haters...

I'm sorry you are having trouble finding out anything. I wish I could be of more help but the last time I saw the boat was back in 07. It had Richie Zul 750's in it with tunnel ram intakes and was in good condition sides some cosmetic gouges on the bottom of the hull on the port side (beaching on rocks maybe). At the time the boat was just being put up for sale. Maybe Zul would have some ideas on who redid the motors after him? Good luck, always loved the TAOD paint on that one.
