with that unbreakable drive line, you should just bungee cord the throttles to the stops and hang on.... good luck sailor...rm

480 hp qsb's are pretty stout. The torque should be up around 900.

Smitty, the boat holds 800 or 850 gallons of fuel. It was originally built as a prototype for the Navy Seals. Very unique boat, and probly the one for this trip.
Again, best of luck guys.
