And trs and transmissions are the weak link of that package.

no way, the trans will hold way more power then the drives...72C is pretty tough

As far as the engines assume they are not 540,s and just run.... anything else is a bonus.... I know 3 people with engines apart right now that were all running boats with 2 having a good back history and we are all fixing issues they had, myself being one of them, I do not trust any builders besides a select few these days to be right and honest.. hope it's cheap in case you get burned..

What kills me alot times advertised boats for sale with fresh rebuilds and after one starts digging into the rebuilds - I would nt want it if it was free, Many good marine rebuilds out there but alot of bad rebuilds out there for the marine side of the things as well.

Maybe because I trust no one that my thinking is 0 hours meant you KNOW you were going to sell.

Rebuild as cheap as possiable,,,,,,, I wouldn’t want that.

Drives were rebuilt by offshore doller marine in Florida before performance boat center bought them I guess, and motors are built up to 650 hp. A newer trailer as well! I'm looking to be under 50k if anyone knows of a 35 or bigger boat that can cruise at 50 for sale.

must be an old 42 if it’s for sale under 50 k. With everything rebuilt. Iceppl glad you said he was one hit. I was thinking same thing. Good luck. I’d get a survey n a test ride.
