That's a rare 'Bird Formula Fans... a "Flat Glass" '85 242 LS with twins and bolsters. Jillted is for sale and if you have ever wanted one of these it doesn't get any better.

Love that pic of nothing but props in the water!!!

Rare in deed. How much are you asking?

Thanks guys. $10K. One OSO'r has first dibs. He's waiting for the weather so he can fire them up.

242LS...I think you know you have a strong back-up just in case...and I'll step up as No. 3 if all else fails.

I remember when they came out with that Imron paint option...that was very "Double Trick" in the '80's

Hey Twin...it's even got a "Florida" aluminum bunk trailer under it!!

It runs the 470's inline 4cyl 170hp each. So no race boat but come this summer at $600 a tank of gas it will be much better than V8's.

Sounds good. You have a good eye - she actually came up north from Florida! (I actually was in school down there when this boat was born. Just dreaming back then at the Miami Show. I picked her up in 2009)

I would have bought that boat. Great find for it's next owner.

Just found this ad for a 23' w/twins.

The way those motors sip fuel you might get a whole season from 1 tankful. Two of those little motors are like having a single big block in that boat....they produce mucho torque.

Way cool pieces that were unfortunately ahead of their time. When I was selling boats in 89/90 we had a similar size Sun Runner w/twins. They were 205 HP's each which I think was their max??

As I recall, a Merc cast aluminum block w/a Ford 460 head (!) and a stator off an O/B in place of an alternator.
Many of them still around but most retrofitted to a traditional alternator.
