I´m thinking along the same lines... a Arrow 830 ( almost 28 feet) like Mange has is a Magnum Sport derivate and I think twin staggers should fit ?? Short staggers or something even. I´d like full Stagger and a 3 person sitdown as I got 2 daughters and got rid of my ex

Would love to get my hands on a boat like that.... even a bare racehull.

When we rigged it (brand new) in Florida it was a guy named Dominicks boat. Very cool if it is the same boat! Id love one too!

If there was room, which I dont believe there is, a staggered small block would be pretty cool. You might just have to eliminate the tabs!

We just had a discussion yesterday if there will fit 2 smallblocks in a 29 kryptonite whit a friend of min who is specialised in ls7 engines for the european gt3 and 4 race class ( cars ) just finished a ls2 for my 21 v hull whit 560 hp @6100 and 544 ft/lbs @4000 rpm .

we thinking to put in 2 ls engines in staggered in a 26-29 v hull like a kryptonite or pantera .
