I offered 13k and he didnt take it. He said he wanted 15k bottom dollar and I told him to get lost. 15k for a 12 year old boat is retarded.. especially in this economy.

As for the boat,what an attention getter this is at the lake.They didn't make many of these in their short production run.I'm sure your aware that this boat was featured in the 1997 movie "Face Off".

Did you happen to buy the boat in Lewisville,Tx.

There are a couple SCS owners on this forum and I'm sure they'll be around shortly.Have fun with that boat.I know I am.

I have a 26p 4 plade Bravo II Prop on my 502 SCS
It works great .. a smidge on the tall side but I like that lower RPM cruising at 60 mph

Wow 488 in the world. That's not a big number at all.

Stay tuned for my interior revamp this winter. Time to bring the boat fully in line with modern standards. Time to start building out a parts list . . .

The only add on I really wanted to add was the holley/b&m injected supercharger that was discontinued. WHat a great Idea it was with the Injection and supercharger in 1 managed unit for marine applications. I tried for 4 years to find one and never could get my hands on it. THat was a real great idea that never took off.
