You can also call Tnt and speak to anyone there (Lupe, Johnny, Ralph) or Larry Goldman (xtreme Powerboats) they can all tell you about Steve. I have personally seen motors from all of them there at the same time being built, rebuilt or gone thru. He really nows his shi?. Alot of the big name race boats back in the days won many championships with Steve building their motors.

I don't know the owner of the boat but have seen the boat in the water and it looks great. I would say that "if" Steve from progresive built the motor, it's gotta run great and bullet proof for sure.

two word's " own part's "

Is the HIN WCW82084B292?

You crack me up. What I meant by ( he will tell you if he built it from scratch or even if the customer brought his own parts) is that he is straight up and tell you as it is, I don't even know if you can bring Steve your own (NEW) parts or not but you should understand what I mean by now. Some engine builder don't tell you how it is and won't even help you dial it in (you know that).

I'm willing to bet that if Steve built the motor, it's good. Again I don't know the owner of the boat or the boat other than seeing it in the water and it looking great.

800 hp should push that into the 80's . xr drive??

I was on the boat w/ the HIN i mentioned.
If it's the same as the advertised boat in this thread, i may have info for the interested parties.
If it's not the same, then....:bigbird:.

Is there anything to worry about when a boat get converted from twin to single engine? Engine mounts or fiberglass work?

I would say that velocityricks boat would be a better buy for close to the same money, if his price is still the same as it is on powerboatlistings. A newer boat built from the factory, not a boat that has been reworked by someone that may or may not know what they are doing. Im not saying that they don't know what they are doing, but im just sayin. Not that i want anyone to buy velocityricks boat, because hopefully by spring ill be back in the market.

TheGetAway needs to make up his mind and buy one! He just better make sure its fast...

i wanna buy his interior......and hatch...
