Congrats. What is wrong with the engines.

Congrats. Any details on the boat / engines?

It's a 95. 35. 502 mag mpis. One fired right up and sounded good. The other had water ingestion and was milkshaked. Pulled both motors doing brand new GM shortblocks. 2.3l sidemounts. The existing shortblocks are rebuildable and I have interest in them. It was for sale on PBSS on Facebook. Has the blue wrap on it currently.

Not sure how far you want to travel, but there was a 97ish 35 lightning for sale that is just up the road from me. Not sure if it has sold, but it was advertised on powerboat listings over the winter. I think he was asking mid 40s. I believe it has 500 bulldog carb engines. I can tell you I know the owner, although not very well, but we always use the same boat launch and I know when he uses it on the weekends. He probably uses the boat 1/3 of what I use mine, and he rarely goes more than 10 miles from the launch, and I don't think I've honestly ever seen him run it WOT.

If you read the post above you'll see I already purchased. Thank you for the info though b

Congrats man, I think you've been looking since I joined.......lol

Just did, my bad, good luck with the new purchase!

On and off. More so planning. Got serious this year. Had to deal with a divorce and then work in upgrading captains license and then oil plummeted. Lol. Plenty of setbacks. Keep trudging forward. I'm just glad I'll be in a boat at or below market value with totally fresh power and drives. Lol

I hate you.
