I believe the original motors were done by Chief..........Falcon Marine logo on the flame arrestors is just badging.

LOTO last I saw it, circa 2010/2011. Sitting in that thing just gives a feel of power. Hope to own a GTX someday.

I don't think so ,but I could be wrong.. I was at Jimmy Mac 's shop (Falcon ) one day when those motors were being assembled and jimmy and Johnny (owner of the boat) showed me the progress on the motors being built . Jimmy told me they were being be built by someone that worked for him..

Well, I may have misspoke. But I had a conversation with Jimmy and he told me the motors where being shipped to Chief to "lower compression and add boost". Maybe Jimmy did originally build the motors. And I don't know if they ever went to Chief.

I believe Jimmy did them orginally and after that I have no clue. I was only at jimmy's that one time .

Joe corretti? He was working there back then? I like the boat and the new price but kinda would like a cabin when I buy again.

I did a poker run on lake Norman a few years back and the boat was there. Very nice boat and I thought the paint was pretty cool but that is just an opinion. The motors could also be detuned for a reasonable amount of money if the power is too much. The boat seamed to idle fine around the docks when I saw it . There is nothing like an outerlimits and you will be bored with a 525 boat in no time . Just my 2 cents. Jeff Wurl

I agree. The 51's have the lines, I've always loved that model.
