Smallest Performance Offshore w/twins?
 

Just curious who makes the smallest offshore boat with twins? I know foun tain had the 27 you could have gotten with 454's which is now the 29 but does anyone make one under 29' with lets say twin 350's?? :cool:

Formula made a 24 with twin big blocks at one time.

I dont know if you would call them :offshore" but Liberators also had twinns in a 24

Donzi has the 28ZX that they will load with twin Scorpions. Take away the swim platform and its probably about 26.5 feetlong.

I dont think Fountain will put twin bigblocks in the 29 any longer.

Superboat makes a 24 and you can put twin outboards on it . I would classify that as a performance boat. Cuz I got one.:D :D

gasssticks. Be careful with taht 24' with twins i heard that hull with twins can chine walk badly.

as for eth smallest offshore boat with twins.

I have seen pictures of 21' skaters with twins.

BUT i am sure sharkey would put 2 outboards on the back of one of those 13' bullet boats!!! :D

Hey Wally,

I build my 28 model with twin big blocks for many years now.Our 28 is bigger than allot of the boats in this size range.I have some running over 100 mph with twins now.We have put in as much as twin 800 HP motors with speed master drives in this model in the past.The majority of them have twin 496 Mercruisers or the 500 efis.If you look in my website you will see samples of some we have done in the past and present.WWW. Panteraboats.com.Their is a few of my customers in this site that have 28 with twins.Regards, JO- Panteraboats:)

I have a 34 superhawaii for sale for 15k.

But for the smallest baja made a 280 sport with twin big blocks.

Remember...........a 29 is really a 26 with a beak.

:D :D :D :D

For winns liberator 26'. Wellcraft Nova 26'. There are many others out there in the 29-30' range. Mainly older boats in the low to mid 20 foot range. They were heavier boats with less powerful engines. Powerquest 29 enticer, 28' sonic 29 baja......

Wellcraft, Nove Spyder. I looked at a 26' with twin 454s. This one was from Key Largo, and had some funny looking stuff growing in the bilge.

I passed on it.


ssherman, I never did get those pictures.

My 26 Chris Craft Scorpion came with twin small blocks but has been repowered with 454 mags.

I've seen a couple Chapprall villian 25's with twin 350's

I own a 23' (22'8") Cobalt with twin small blocks. (350CI, Mercruiser 260's). Cobalt was not a "Performance offshore" builder, although I have suprised more than 1 guy that just knew he had the fastest boat on the lake!

ssherman......Need to see some pictures of your SuperHawaii. I looked at one last year at Lake Tahoe, it was to beat up for me, but I kinda liked the boat. Someone told me the staggered motors caused the boat to chine walk alot, any truth to that?

I have two-
Formula F242LS- 24'2", twin 355 SBC's with Alphas (originally 260's but upgraded)
Active Thunder Savage 28'- twin 350 MagMPI's with Bravos

I have always wanted to do this - and am considering trying sometime soon. I see that there is a 12' Mini-Offshore in the classifieds - maybe now is the time.:D

Someone here just built a new cat with twins .was it "uncle toys " I can't remember .

Ive got a 26' Liberator with a single BB but twin smalls were available. I can easily sit on either side of my motor when doing maintenance. I have two large Rubbermaid storage boxes I keep back there for the light stuff on board.

Puder, you know me all too well......:D :D :D

LOL!!!!!

it was nice to meet you and your fam at skaterfest.

How's the new boat???

Good to meet u 2! Wish we had more time. I'm still trying to set up the trailer at this point and will be going over everything b4 the AC Poker Run. I can't wait.........:D

My Liberator is 23'8" and has twin 350's. Still a dog! :(

I have a 28 cig w/twin small blocks Its a tight fit I cant Quite squeeze my head between the inside manifolds. I am interested in trying to Squeeze a pair of big blocks in it. I knew a guy that had a 24 Martini w twin sb's in it.

What about smallest with triples?
 

21 ft or so Austrailian ski boat.

Too Old If this is any indication....:D

When she got in it for her 1st time she was a natural. Her right hand went right for the throttles...:eek: My youngest, 9 months old slept through the Dyno test at SKATERFEST. :eek: Damn they make me proud......:D :D :D

:D :D :D

I think Allen Brown ran the Formula F233 with twin Inboards In the 64 Miami to Nassau race's But a year or two later Jim Wynne came up with the Sterndrive. And when Don A moved up to the 27 Donzi. Jim & Allen ran the F233 with twin v8's maybe 427 fords? for a few more years after that..
