Sounds like jb has pegged it... That's an old 30 and most likely is as heavy as a more recent 38... The invested $70K also seems to be an inflated number, especially with the bid at $16k... Best bet would be to sell the motors on their own if they are really as stated...

come on guys, you can't be fooled by this ad. Take a look at the picture of the motors. Can't believe there is 700 hp there. Look at the drives, looks to me like he spins 23p mirage's. I wouldn't bid more then 10,000.

I have a very much the same boat with more than the claimed power of the1978 which would not quite hit 70 on my gps.neither with 21 clevers nor 23 and 25 mirage.Its also completely redon(theriverworld.com)page 12 of the hot boat section.Its the twister boat.Every thing is new with close to 800 total hp but will never run 92mph.Only when I tow it to havasu on a straight desert road in the middle of the night does it go 92mph.it is the same 30 scarab as the1978 which is not a 32 [email protected].
