No clue really...
Took it out twice ..Just getting used to it as I've never owned a cat OR twin engine boat before...
and an engine blew.. Didn't even make it through a tank of gas with it yet....
They WERE "freshly rebuilt" as the owner had stated.. problem was, they were rebuilt by TOTAL AMATEURS...
(wrong pistons wrong valves, bent crank, no valve seals, ring end gaps lined up groove cut in cylinder wall .. and just all around crappy machine work)
$5300 in machine work $4500 in parts later, they're almost back together..
Only GOOD news is, it ran 90 MPH while spinning a bearing so hopefully will break 100 once I get it squared away...

Bummer, boat looks great. I rode on an AO 3100 in the low 90s and it was so smooth (powered by 496 MAG HOs). I'm sure when you get it dialed in you'll be happy with it. Boating is expensive, boating with a boat that exceeds 100mph is super expensive!

My Awesome is a whole lot more for much less. 3 years newer, Chief 850's, #5's recently rebuilt by TNT, plus much more. Only criticism is the paint oh well. The name will come off with a blow drier. I planed on keep it for ever, but I just got a killer deal on a Nor-tech 3600.
