Default Short Circuit for sale

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o33651-en.html

I wonder what kind of speed they get with those 500 hp engines?

I know she would break out in P-5 class. [75mph] Speeds of 80 to 85mph would be believable.

Great piece of history, good luck with the sale. Curious, what exaust you have? I'm looking to replace the dry pipes on my Starfire.

Thanks - Marshall

You;d look good in that. Amazing how a little interior work and the boat picked up 10-15 mph over when Skip raced it. Wink Wink.....Sand Baggers.....

You have no clue what I have done to this boat and how much I've spent......


I really don't care how fast it is or isn't, this boat only has meaning due to its history, thats enough for most...

When Short Circuit raced, class 5 was bracketted at 70 mph. A stock 27 Magnum with old TRS drives could have easily broken 70 mph.
I believe JET posted a legit top end speed. The sandbagging was done when it raced.
Still a beautiful boat!

That is what I was talking about. I believe the top speed as posted. When Skip raced the boat they sand bagged big time.

Sorry for not being clear on my post.

Beautiful boat and huge history.
