I bought it with i/o that were hit by a car from behind .. The cost of repair was not less that 4000$ and few expensive shops do it .. The bracket cost plus installation is 5000$ .. Twin outboards are 6000$ plus I sold the two old 454s for 2000$ .. Also the parts and labor for outboards are much cheaper where I am here than for i/o

Lol. 96k that's funny.

if he gets that then mine will be for go for 120,000 lol

First post, you're removing engines, next day they're sold.......


Darr alert.......

He has another thread going right now too, under a different name...bonus points if you find that one,,,,

I have a decathlon with twin 300 pro max's, I'm getting around 60. Good luck with your project.

The bullet with the twin 300s in the previous link runs 63 MPH max .. So i think the 50 MPH is doable with 250s on mine

You will love the outboards. 300 is a good choice 65 is obtainable and you will love the economy and maintenance is easier, half that of changing out drives, and everything else that rots out. You will also have some room to put a cooler on deck instead of climbing around and squeezing into every corner. The boat will also be lighter for towing. Don't get discouraged by people telling you not to do it you will save a bunch at the pump.

Casey, is that your decathelon in the trader for 100k?

No I have a bullet. Look for Bullet rebuild on here. I can give you lots of photos of what to look for when rebuilding one.
