Yeah the blowers are Vortec, the intercoolers are from Procharger. They are gil manifolds with custom tail pipes.

Forgot about rest of drivetrain:
-Huber 1330 Trannys
-SSM 3 turning 31p 4 blades
-Supposedly does 90 MPH on GPS...but havent had a chance to try it WOT throttle yet.
-Its a 36ft boat, same bottom hull as Baja Outlaw (the boat is a Force 10)

I think with that notched transom you could say it has the same bottom as the 35 outlaw, the 36 did not have a notch. lol

Great looking ride btw

It's not notched, the previous owner built a big extension box onto the back of the boat. Almost like he moved the transom back.

If it really does 90 they have to be 825-850+ HP.

I dont see a Force/Baja 36 running 90 with anything less.

Consider Doc Holidays boat...

I couldn't see that on my phone last night, good catch. Wow that looks like a ton of work! I guess that explains the crazy exhaust routing!

LOL Yep, Jamie had some insight!

The guy did some crazy work on this thing. The 'extension box' is actually made out of aluminum and the transmissions are inside it. There is an access panel in the swim platform (aluminum) to get to the trannies. So in the engine compartment, the motors are in the same position as if they were in a Bravo set up.
That's the reason for the exhaust routing too...seems to work well in any case.

So yes, a 36' boat then an extension box added.
