Man things can change!!! I can't believe and wonder how far or where this outboard trend will lead us in !!!

What's old is new again. Outboards on big v's was huge in the 80's. I remember working at the local Wellcraft dealer washing boats as a kid. They had two Scarabs with outboards.

That guy that converted the Bullet did a really nice job. Kinda steep asking price when he was trying to sell it but it was really nice.

Whew. I gotta say, I was a little disappointed. Nothing like the roar of a big V8 to through hull exhaust.

I'm just about to start my conversion on either a 36 Gladiator or a 38 T/S with triple 400's Purchasing one of them this week.You can't beat the dependability or warranty on these engines. I'm tired of wrenching and working in the bilge.
