Thanks for the info - bout 40% more hmm definately a premium.

maybe teague or boost power will sell you a rebuild. Theve both got at least a dozen or more of these on the shelf.

I wonder what teague charges for just the parts and labor..

Mr. Gadgets seems pretty reputable maybe see what hes got lying around.....

Very nice looking boat!

Pokher Ace 02-03-2009 09:18 PM

Uncle Dave- awesome boat!! Im curious about price as well and I would assume it will need an HP transom assembly?

Uncle Dave 02-03-2009 10:01 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Not sure about HP transom, but I know you need the "offshore gimbal" probably referring to the same thing.

I wish I could help out with prices more- sorry.

The lighting in the "stabin cabin" cockpit and its multitudinous cup holders - cycles between r,g,&b.

Not a chance any Bravo drive is going to survive 1200hp for more than 20hrs unless 19 of them are under 3000rpms. The Teague drive will probably survive close to the longest though.

Are those Zoomer mufflers on the back of your boat? Is that what Lavey uses?

Good question.

Those are zoomers. Lavy offered to put anything on I wanted and we went back and forth on a bunch of different ones.

We started with imco gatlins, but there was a installation consideration that made them difficult for Chris,

Then we decided on CMI's- but another Lavey owner Quent has them and said their is a spring that stretches inside their housing that rattles after about 25 hours.

Then we looked at gibson and the zoomers and I liked the look of the zoomers. decision made.

They arent super quiet but still let some roar through you can hear then in the video section under Ilmor 710 "singing" about 24 seconds in.

True Story-but People Do It All The Time And The Only Ones Who Live Are Putting Around. Usually 600-750 Is Ok--the Rest ???? We Have Broken 6's From 1200hp--good Day!:d

Superbabi-no intent to thread hijack....

Nova- here are the zoomers pre installation... pretty nice pieces.
The fins dont rotate they are fixed and they are welded at the connection point. They actually look flow onstructive in this pict but really arent - the width you are seeing is the "pitch" of blade.
