Anyone need any stock gauges for these? I have some.
They all work 100% and most are in good condition. Some need to have white touched up on bezel.
Or you can add these and real dress up your gauge:

Ok, its been a year now, and the boat has been tuned up and running really good...

Ran it this weekend offshore, had 6 people (1500lbs), both tanks full 150+85 = 235 gallons (1880lbs) ice in every compartment pust gear (est. 500lbs)

And she only would run about 47-49 Mph WOT, but the rpms NEVER went past 4800-4900...

So my question is what the hell is wrong, I have what looks to be a "mirage" style 3-blade with a 19 pitch, the OX66 250's should turn 5400-5600 rpm's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

This is my neighbors boat. What do you guys think that it's worth? Anything special with these boats that needs to be paid attention to in the survey?

Thanks in advance, Craig

That's maybe a bit high. No bolsters, older motors. I think that should be $23-$25K. If there are soft spots in deck, those are serious repair item.
They are fun, good riding, solid boats.

Gnote - problem is likely too much prop for such a heavy load.

I thought the lower the number the better it would do with a heavy load?

If everybody else is running 15x23p mirage, and I'm running a 14x19 3-blade NO-BRAND name prop, shouldn't I be over-revving???

I was looking hard at buying a CC last year about this time. I looked at a lot of the Scarab 302's. They did have an issue with water rot under the center console making the floor soft. So make sure that it checked. Other than that, no issues I know of. That is a clean CC.

G Note, what hole are the motors mounted? They could be to low, should be on top hole. You could just have tired motors? did they do compression tests on the tune up?


Oldschool, I think upper 20's is a good price from a neighbor, no trailer? 15 yr old EFI motors, no many people still want the old technology outboards, gas and oil hoggs. Like others said, they seem to rot the floor around the console from what i've read. and a repower will run 30-40K for new motors
