Congratulations, on the 42. Do you know how fast it was with the 1075s? If you are interested in a set of 1075s with transmissions PM me. They have 100 hrs on them.

Congrats on the new boat, looked like a real nice one. Good luck with the search for power, there is plenty of options out there.

Thanks everyone. I will be bringing it down to Fort Myers next week to get some power put in her. It had 1075's. Still looking at my options for power. Looking for the right deal for the right motors that this boat deserves.

Wow what a beautiful 42 Bullhead.

Have you thought about having engines built by someone like Eddie Young, richie Zul, Dave at wesco, etc? The mercs are nice, but not cheap, and i would think you can get a better setup for similiar money from one of those builders...

Either way, congrats on the boat. That boat is on the top of my list for favorite beakers. Right up there with Bullheads boat. Keep us posted on the progress!!!
