The boat will require substantial hull changes but not so significant that other current models cannot be modified to accomodate the new engine and drive system(s).

that doesent sound like a good idear to me,but I guess if the dollars are there

The boat is for sale, without power. It ran over 162mph with Merc 1200SCI's. There were motor issues in the beginning, but in the end, with Mercury power, it ran very well. Even those motors had a electrical problem, but it was fixed (merc racing problem). If I had the money, I would buy it in a heartbeat, but I need another 20 years to save up! 50', 1200hp, 162mph+ is very good.
