but the throttle is on the left!!!!!

OMG how would you drive it?

lmao

Funny how some people are about that.

I built a 100 MPH 17’ vee bottom OB yrs ago and struggled w/that part of set up.
Was an open stringer boat w /steering on right.

W/the floor being the top side of the bottom, there was no place for a foot throttle on the right of driver.
Only place it would work (for Rt hand steer) was for left foot operation.

I threw another wrench in the gears when I decided to make the seats convertible.
I wanted both, side by seating for lake play and single/center seat for drag racing.

Built a grid for the seats w/clevis pins to move them.

I then mounted the wheel 1/2 way between where should be for center steer and side side by side.
So it was a few inches from both normal locations.

Had no clue if any of it would work.

Maybe it’s just me but it had zero effect on me.

Worked well enough I did it on a 110 MPH 19’ tunnel boat too.

As long as I can reach the wheel, trim buttons and throttle, who cares 😉

I hope you have kept a photo album of all your cool, unique builds! And not just the end result, but work in progress

I have tried.

But, after just turning 61 w/no kids and no one in the family that gives a **** about fast boats, it stops w/me.

Now , here's a comfy old relic for someone on the other side of the pond looking for a project

The seller's 2nd last sentence of the ad text kills me .. At least he's honest .

Hilarious!

not sure what the market is for this one

looks like he is bailing out of it lol. Did he put a hot tub in the engine compartment?

With the outboards does that mean its really a 47'r now. If they put a beak on the back of the engines I think they could call it a 50'

Last that guy posted was one motor still had issues. The boat isn't worth much more than the motors, nasty interior etc.

On another note I wonder how bad the balance would be on something like this, that hull was tweeked to snot for stag BBC mounted low and close to the keel.

Now ALL the power is behind the transom and high,,,,,,, The CG has to be a mess.
