Great pictures lol scrap it. drive looks like its in great condition

"Running Diesel Engine"
The potential is that the drive system does not work at all and potentially what all does not work may not be limited to the locked up drive......LOL

Metal flaked , I had an American with the same 60 grit finish and 470 merc.

DANGER 1000 HP

http://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/boa/4858238668.html

At least he's honest about the speed, if not understating it a bit. 1000HP and only 83 MPH?

with 2 500 hp small blocks and bravos that speed should be close.theres more there if you play with it, not a lot but you could pick up a little dialing the drive and prop, i doubt the bottom has been done either. His price is a little optimistic, but it does look clean....

Another Ex Navy Seal boat...built by Fountain

That one just belongs in the bad paint thread.

Those 454s look real "fresh" alright.

And I'm sure the Navy Seal's went on some awesome missions with it's Alpha outdrives.......

No way Reggie built that seal boat.......the throttles are on the right side of the wheel! :rolleyes:

Fountain did indeed build a number of boats for the military. I'm 100% sure the engines and drives used by the military were stripped out of the hull - along with everything else - before it was sold at auction. The big block / Alpha drive junk was probably installed by the idiot selling it now.

heck thats gotta be worth five G's

That boat at 5 G's is not that bad............ As long as the stringers are good........ its better then most projects I have seen done on here, & the boat would be better then most members boats here. From the pics, it was set up for TRS

Customs was running beaks on the west coast back in the 90's

did he build the deck after the boat was parked?

Sweet pics, and I'm sure that stock 454 is making 500hp like he says

A. I'm preeeettty sure that's Larry the Cable Guy in pic 6 in the ad.

B. I am confident that is NOT the correct method to cup a propeller.

man i tell ya what i dont think the 25 Checkmate up there or the Navy Seal Fountain are all that bad of a deal, both are among the few "appropriately and realistically" priced boats out there. I dont think either are out of line at all . . . . just say'in :D

My loss your gain, 454 500hp, comes with 2006 Karavan trailer that was barley used, have the boat in a marina, needs impropella work was told that it's $200 dollars by a certified mechanic. custom interior done in "Gamecock" colors, the sounds it makes when started and running sends chills through you. Here's your chance to own a true "Hot Rod" on the the water. Price is firm.

A. it has a barley used trailer

B. you may know something about propellers clearly know NOTHING about an impropella

C. gamecock colors

the sounds it makes when started and running sends chills through you

:drool1:

Of coarse 70 check out the special skeg on the outdrive

Come on the flames alone are worth 10mph :poopoo:

Fastest center console on the planet, runs great..no engines

http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/boa/4838151684.html

lol So that's the secret. I'm cutting off my skeg right now. Should be good for 20 mph. :evilb:

NOW THAT'S ONE UGLY MOTHERF****R RIGHT THERE.:party-smiley-004:

Great, just great.....THERE GOES THE SECRET !

Yeah, boomer, wtf man. That was the best kept secret until now. :angry-smiley-038:

That secret is hit or miss, just ask Phragle.

Oh, so if I got TWO skegs to cut off, I get 40MPH? Sweeeeet! Going to get the sawzall now!

There went my idea of patenting/selling a special "skeg removal tool", in a fancy box, with claims of 20mph gains....

The 70 MPH is on the trailer behind the tow vehicle.

all i got to say is . . . . . . :picard1:

fastest boat in the world period! . . . just add your Merc 1600 :rolleyes: . . . . .

yeahhhh....true 70mph boat...and 9k when it hasn't been run in 7 years. He doesn't even say what kind of boat it actually is.

It has all the good stuff in it..... :faint2:

I know that boat. It's a 1/4 mile down the road from me. Looks like he took the twins off of it. That's funny. I have never seen it go......but not the fastest anyway.

What is that?

What is it? It says what it is.... It's the fastest sport fish ever... Duh!
