OK, guys, don't get your knickers in a twist. Point is, why bother with the care and feeding of 700 HP, broken drives, etc. to go 75 MPH. BTW, My family LOVED our Superboat, and with only 525HP, we didn't get passed too often. :-)

Exactly why I went from twins to a superboat Y2K

lol, for a 290 powerquest we are doing great. The engine has over 500hrs on it with zero rebuilds. One of the fastest 290s. And has cabin, beach supplies, etc. Engine was built for durability, not speed. Anything else you have to say Dave?

spencerc26 05-17-2017 01:34 PM

And it's a Powerquest too. They are heavy. Not built for that type of speed either. Factory only offered 454s, 496, 502s. Nothing special.

that 29 sounds real nice. i had to look twice when i saw the 290 on the side & it was a single.

Was it blue, white, teal, pink? If so it was us. What boat do you own?

Don't remember the colors. Wharf marina in & out? I don't think there are a lot of those in a single version?

Yes, we are at the wharf. Actually taking it out today for the first time this year. There is only 1 single 290 and that would be this one.
