Does it come with an 8-Track tape player? :D :D

I bet it goes faster turning to one side than the other.....

Level III Chaos 07-05-2013 08:54 AM

Really???? "Runs Perfect, recently serviced, owner is getting a bigger boat." LOL

low_psi 07-05-2013 08:57 AM

Mabe it is set up for the oval..... You know, circle track cars have offset camber, etc. This boat has offset horsepower... The 502 is on the strarboard side (outside of oval) to promote a natural turn to the left....

propping must have been a hoot!

Is the 380 for ballast?

You have it all wrong. The smaller motor is designed and tuned for a smooth and economical cruise. When you want to really go fast you fire up the bigger motor and enter hyper-drive mode!!!

Can't say I have ever seen someone put 2 different sized motors in a boat!!!! That's a new one!!

Holy rotten resin buckets...

That's seems appropriate - also right out of Mel Brooks' Spaceballs....

I think this is the perfect solution for people who want high horsepower motors and reliable power - just put two different engines in

Kind of like a hybrid. The big motor is only used when accelerating.... Once on plane it shuts down the big engine and uses the more economical smaller motor. Wonder if it has regenerative braking? Or maybe the prop on the big motor while free spinning, creates energy that is stored in a Capacitor of sorts. THen there is a reserve of burst energy when needed....

but the flux capacitor only kicks in at 88 mph...

THAT MUST BE HOW 100 GAL. WILL LAST ALL DAY -WITH IN 30-40 MI.:lolhit:

Love it how it's recently serviced, yet the tire on the trailer is completely shredded... Apache Brave is right, would be a "Brave" man who bought that...

offshoredrillin 07-05-2013 07:30 PM

Its as fast as a one legged duck, perfect in a circle.

Keith Atlanta 07-05-2013 08:02 PM

Is this the 28 that was burned? It was out there a short while back.

a262carl 07-06-2013 01:33 AM

I think it should be burned if it wasn't a while back
