Keeps the blower belt from walking forward.

Default Convert To Twin - Will Run Better

Pull the motors out, glass the transom and convert to twin. It will run better and most lilely be faster. We just converted our 2000 42 Triple 65-0 Joey Griffin boat to twins (more buyers). The boat ran 99 with the triples and now runs 102 with the twin set up, guess we have learned alot since 2000. The accleration is not the same but it's faster, BETTER ride and BETTER gas burn.

If you got an offer for 49.9 in this market for that thing, I would say deliver it to his house and drop it off and say thank you very much sir.

But, there is an ass for every seat.

Man,49k !! I was kinda interested in this.That is way out of line from what I thought about offering.Tripples just ain't worth a lot in this market especially needing the work that it does.I would jump on that offer.My 2 cents . Thanks JOHN
