Smallest Boat with Twin Inboards
I was just curious about what the smallest boat currently built with twin inboard engines, and smallest that has ever been built. 28' is the smallest I can think of in current production, such as the 28 Pantera with small blocks.

Now thats wide open. 15' jet or 24 pantera 470s or 38 cig with 1075s on an on. what are you asking.
|
Cumberland marine has a 27' Fountain with twins.
|
current, probably fountain 29 it is really 26 w/o platform. Formula built many true 24's with twins, Donzi built many 23's with twins and I think some 21' gt or hornet twins, there was plenty of engine room in those models. here is a pic link of a GT 21 Donzi

Isn,t that Bernico actually a 23 ft ? I,ve seen it run several times in skiracing in Belgium ,and it is an awesome boat, I believe they claim 2 x 800 hp

SICK! love to go for a rip
|
|
That is some boat! Wow!
Notice that they even have Hydramatic transmissions, I presume for a better hole shot, although I am surprised the drives will hold up to that. Michael |
A bit off topic, but this past week at the marina, I saw an 18' center console with twin 40hp Evinrudes.
|
24ft formula with small blocks, there were made in the mid 80's
|
Andretti Edition Celebrity?

Back in the early 90's Wellcraft built the 26 Nova ST . Twin big blocks . I had mine powered with twin 600 hp 489's ... Boat would run faster than I could drive it ... chine walk over 80 mph ... 91 mph was the fastest speed prior to backing out of it . Ran 68 - 70 with stock 330's .

My '79 Formula 255 Liberator has twin 350 Chevy's...that was the standard power. Plenty of 242LS and Sr1 Formulas from the '80's still out there as well as 233 Interceptors from '79~'82. Formula built plenty of 233's in the '70's with 165 HP Chevy inline sixes as well as 302 Fords. I think the smallest boat Formula is building now with twins is the 292...it's a 70 MPH bullet with twin 350 Mags.
My nephew has a 21' Sea Do jet boat with twin "whatever they come with"...runs about 45 pulling a tube or skier. |

The boat Stevo13 is referring to is Mike Avila's 21-foot Wellscraft (designed by ski racer Martie Wells), "Warpaint". The boat has been a top runner in water ski racing for several years. Powered by a pair of staggered big block supercharged Chevy engines spinning a pair of IMCO stern drives. The boat will run an honest 125 to 130 mph. Routinely pulls skiers in the Men's Open Class in excess of 110 mph. Mike was a world champion water ski racer himself until a serious accident left him with a badly injured arm. Today, he drives the boat mostly with the use of only one arm and a foot throttle.
