Nice! But NO!!! Wonder how the drive is holding up...

Honestly I like it. Looks pretty good for a late 70s sea ray

Aren't those turbos a little close to the fiberglass?

Wonder what the top speed is on that.

Watch out My Way someone might be coming for your record.

First question - are those turbos really rigged and actually function off the exhaust?? Maybe it has yet to be fired and therefore hasn't burnt the boat up yet..

Who would have thought a Merc MR was really the "baby" Mercury Racing drive???

In keeping with the spirit of this beauty, I know is sounds stupid but we once had a customer that honestly thought a SS braid hose kit on a pair of 454/420's gave him more power over stock - yes they are out there - LOL

Don't know that boat but I can tell you that I have a 351-W with the same Twin Turbo Charger setup. The Turbo's are oil cooled and I have never had a problem with that setup. I have a 280 Volve Drive and have never had an issue with the drive. Drive it sensibly and it just keeps going, the one problem is that you can't really get the full potentional out of this setup unless you do upgrade the drive and some engine mods, so why change something that works and looks neat. As for my setup it works well just as it is and is dependable and you can definately notice the pull when the throttles go down. Its an Old School setup like some old cars that have a tri power setup when they have restored the Old Hot Rod. BTW my boat is 24 ft. Jaws, weighs 5,000 lbs. and is 33 years old and still runs well. Back in the 80's it was quick but today it is slow but sounds nice and is nice to look at. I need to get a set of them Flame Arrestors.

I like the horns and the teak wood. And it's a sea ray !!
