Are they horn motors? Would love to see them without covers?

Must be heavy, wonder what she weighs?
Still would make more money on selling parts.

If I had space for more boats, I would probably buy it.
Like I need another project :angry-smiley-038:

75mph, not bad but with the 2.4, gas must be ouch!

Mine with the efi promax, run great & great on gas.
Still would sell the 2.4 & get 2.5efi.

Been running the 2.5 promax, x3 for about 5 years and never had trouble with them.
Only issue, watch the water pressure,,,
again, my 2cents:party-smiley-004:


as requested

carb motors ouch.
they look like 240hp motors, but looks clean.
Are all 3 motors running?

Looks like someone better buy it before i do! :angry-smiley-038:

Are they all 20" mids set up on the transom?
Any pics of the bilge area?

Is the trailer strong enough to make a 500mile trip.
May be time for a road trip.

Sell the power heads & add 2.5efi.
Anyone looking for 2.4 power heads?

Would be faster and cheaper on gas.

OK, need more pics of the inside cabin, bilge & interior transom,

Port motor seized

I think they are all 20" mids

30 pitch props

no pics of the bilge

Trailer wont move with no boat on it....rotted almost in half ans 2 axles are rotten/snapped at the ends.

Someone will have to bring in an A frame- hoist boat up and pull trailer out. That thing has been sitting there for several years based on the wheels sunk in.

Good luck!!!!

30 pitch props

no way they are turning 30" props.

Most I can turn is 28 6500rpm =85mph.

30"s would run around 100 mph.

May sell for 5k, then that would be a deal.
Cabin looks nice!
Still would love to see the bilge area?

prostock85 12-17-2011 12:52 PM

48-19519 30

14.75 x 30

I think the center was 14.50

Maybe different ratio?

If I had the cash I would buy it in a minute. Bolt the V8 300's on for now while I built the other boat.

Yes, we need an update on your work,,,

I had a shadow cat that needed that much attention.
Sold it bought another one, but great job!

Did you ever get a chance to weigh it?

I still dont think they will turn 30"
But, I could be wrong.

The 2.4s were just to small to turn the numbers,

Im running 28 3 blades outside & 4 blade in the middle.
I think mine weighs in about 7000 lbs.

My next goal is 3 300xs motors for mine, this would put me around 100 mph. :evilb:.
But I always have my stv for that :drink:

I would love to hear the 2 8v start up.
Awesome dude, would be awesome!

I'm going to weigh it once I get all the coring/glass work done before any rigging. Probably in the Spring

I'm hoping to have motor 2 running later today, then the tear down starts. Paint and hoses, etc..

If you need any other pictures or anything else I'll see what I have. Somewhere I know my g/f took a video wandering around the boat. Ill see if I can find it.

makes me want to pull my boat off of my trailer and pick this one up

Ryan Beckley 12-18-2011 04:09 PM

When these boats were first built by Rich and Able the would go near 100 in race trim with 2.4's. This one must be REALLY HEAVY to go only 75. The trailer is scrap, that makes it a real tough sell.
