Okay...I own the salvaged boat now.
Anyone interested in some motors that pushed the F311 to 78 mph gps with 4 blade 28P props?
500+ hp, 300 hour of fresh water and about 11.5 hours of salt water (Gulf of Mexico).
New Latham stainless steel hoses and elbows,
New Diamond Performance flushing kits (already installed)
Bravo lube just flushed/replaced and new raw water impellers
After Sally videos:

No water in the engine bay/area...dry and ALL equipment/batteries operable trim, tilt, etc.... In fact, dash switches and (even with the water in the nose) the front cabin lights and stereo still work.

This one is also a 1988 Formula 311 SR-1 and it mimics my original boat. Its from Grande Isle, NY (fresh water) and has about 50 hours on a complete bottom/hull redo and a pair of built big blocks (489 kits-592/593 hp) and Bravo drives. Frankly, she needs nothing...a good place to start! :-)

That’s awesome that you were able to bounce back after a devastating blow and Congrats on finding a replacement, she looks great!
Those engines sound healthy, wonder if they’ll fit in the 357 nicely m.
