I believe that’s a pretty good deal, right?

Who knows what those are, they are not 525's.

Not serpentine belts, not closed cooling, who knows what heads and 95% done electronics?

Exactly. Counterfeit 525s and they shouldn't be calling them that. I've seen them before on this forum in the swapshop but bit my tongue. Buyer beware.
edit: "selling as-is." This means you have no recourse if the engines turn out to be total junk which they probably are.

Facebook, cocoa fl. Someone coming down for the race could snatch this up, total rebuild but it looks like an 18 donzi outboard splash.

could be a great little fuel sippin hot rod, sand bar, fun boat.

This is a plea for help, talk me out of it, someone come get it. Now that i know it's there for 400 bucks i can't unknow it, or un want it.

edit in, i messaged the guy, hopefully he will take a look and get back to me but it looks and sounds like two 5 on 4 1/2 rims and tires to roll.
Gladly help another member get it out, by the way 2 bucket seats and a couple of stringers it's a class 7 boat no need for a floor, fancy upholstery and paint

When we lived in Fla, the fast CC’s were first becoming truly fast.

I would never do one of the smaller ones, anyhow.

Standing in basically, a stand up casting pod, while doing 80+ and flying (mostly OBs) the boat???

Couple yrs back a guy died in one while flying it through the Keys.

yes but I don't get it, when you are in them when they get to the speed the hull works is about the speed you don't feel comfortable in the CC. Kents is a beast but just a weird animal.

Don't tell him I said that! LOL

An outboard on steroids.

This is what a 2 stroke will do w/no rules.

500cc/30 cu inches, 200 hp and 65 lbs.

Last I heard, their hydro Kilo record was 128!

I went this motor for my bar!
