I have a line on some EXTREMELY nice V's with boxes, bellhousings, props, trannies, Eeeeeeverything. And these things look brand new with low low hours. Even comes with some extra stuff.
Shoot me a PM with your # and I can text you pics if you're interested.

PS, that is a cool little bit if trivia about Mickey Rourke. Never even knew he was into that scenes. Wonder who he bought it from originally and what the details on that whole thing were.
PSS, what's the 3rd boat under the cover in the pics?

MRP can reply, but when he got it, the Fives had 4 blade, 32 x 17 dia. They slipped a lot, 5600 and 5100 @86 mph.
Then we removed a T-shirt from between the carb adapter and blower! It picked up then then to 91. Added 5 blade herings and slip went down, added intercoolers and boost. Speed was then in low to mid 90s. But the cruise 3500 came up about 5 mph. Much more useful. We set our boats up for the best cruise, over top speed. We run long distances at 3500, and get better mileage than CCs, and we are running twice the speed.
The Chiefs make 1000 each, on Tommys Dyno.

What kind of mileage do you get?

I get 1.15@ 3500, 62 mph. Most Grady White, proline, contender, blackwater, etc, with twin 250 yamahahahas, get about the same, but at 35-38 mph. So in an hours time i will be 20 miles farther. The trip and quad boats are worse, not that it matters, as long as you are having fun.
The yellowfin 34, 36, and 42 i have been in show .8 mpg at 40-43 mph.
My Skater gets 4 mpg at 90 mph. Optimax outboards.

Props For Sale! Props For Sale!
Today was the day I've been dreaming about since December 6th when I began removing parts to start this project.
I took the afternoon off to do a couple of last minute items to get ready to finally water test the SSM VI drives. As I finished my tasks it was one eye on the tide chart and one on the weather radar. I hoped to get enough tide to run in the Crystal River before the storm line arrived.
We just made it back to ZP's, smiling ear to ear over our first test run, when the bottom dropped out. Washed in the rain as you can see in the pics..
It will need some new wheels to take full advantage of the Sixes, but at this point, NO WORRIES!!
