Then depending on power fresh from eddie another 60k easy probably and then it's still ugly and still a bravo boat. This deal is pretty much only good for someone with an old straight bottom donor boat of some sort with good power and drivea

Didn't you sell a 42 that needed engines?

Around what did it go for, didn't it need a dash, interior or not? Trying to help with a budget, this guy got screwed on a set of motors that cost him a bunch to make right.

Little gun shy of buying a boat with "good motors" rather then have his own built.

Thats my old boat , I sold it to a Michael in 2014 from OH or IND without power no drives just the Stainless Marine manifolds & exhaust he rigged it ran it and then traded it for a 36 Nortech cat . It ran 113 114 when I had it with Eddies engines around 980hp each & SCX -4 drives 1.34 gears #6 props . over 13k in exhaust there all new gauge cluster Eddie put in , boat was re rigged by fountain before I bought it in 09 from triple to full stagger .
