Did a boat swap with a buddy who picked this boat up in rough shape but has done a ton of work to it. New updated cockpit upholstery, powdercoated all the brightwork, lowers rebuilt with racing shafts, powerheads checked out ok, just need to reinstall heads and looking at bracato ACUs and injector tuning. Properly tuned what is a good estimate for top speed? o/bs are original BPs that have some sleeves and some original holes but in good enough shape to run for now. 2 sets of props coming with boat. Local guy familiar with engine type recommended cleavers over the choppers to load the motors properly. This is my first offshore boat and looking forward to learning a lot. Will post pics when I figure how to upload.

Engines are Racing 2.4 efi. 7500 rpm motors. Told 240 hp.(x3). Think it will do 80 on gps? Hopefully it goes faster than my 3485 Avanti.

We need pics!

I think they did 72 - 74 with triple 200's. I am curious what they will do with your setup. POST PICS!!! Don't see much OB 33. My guess is if those engines are healthy it should do 77 - 80.

Pics were taken last fall and since then the interior, rub rail repair at corners, lowers installed, polished and waxed, new floor covering, trailer cleaned up with new tires. My friend is bringing from Vancouver to me (7 hr drive) in next few weeks so I can finish and fine tune engines and controls and electrical. He is good with the interior and finish detail. Boat came from Seattle area 3 yrs ago and hasn't seen water in at least 5 or more years. When he first got it it it was very dirty and neglected but hull was in great shape. Checked all stringers, transom, bulkheads etc for rot and it has none. Hopefully will be ripping it up on Kootenay Lake (100 miles long x 3 miles wide) this summer. It is a deep cold glacier fed lake and not too many offshore boats on it. Mostly cruisers and fishers. My main boat is 96 Bayliner Avanti 3485. Traded a 1991 Chris Craft 302 Crowne for this boat. Large cruiser with twin 454s that will do over 50. My Bayliner with V-drive 350s will only do about 40. This one hopefully will satisfy my need for speed. Same friend is also currently building a 32 Skater with twin 640s that he is hoping will do 130-140. Motors are just getting finished in Kelowna at CR racing who is his partner in that boat.

I can tell you most came with 24" 3 blade choppers. Should run right around 80+- MPH. If it only has the 16 amp charging system, remember to charge batteries each time.

Any out there with trip 2.5 280's???

Any way to upgrade charging if it does have 16A system? How do I tell what charging systems are on motors? Going to put in 3 Group 27 starting batteries and 1 for stereo system.

Seen triple 200's, 225 opti's, 250 efi's, 300x's never 280's.
