Very interesting, I'd be curious what other say you have. All the Alpha SS's I've seen look the one SB has.

BTW, looking for one of these. Anyone know where one might be for sale?

Yes, as FF mentioned, the middle plug on transom drains the area between the liner and hull. Audio, if there's substantial water draining from there at year end, I'd be concerned how it's getting...

I obviously never looked but I'm really surprised Formula doesn't use a relay already. That seems like a lot of current to run through a switch and a really long run to boot!

Just thinking out...

Hi Vet, my 370 is still on the hard. In case you are not familiar with the 370 hull design, the keel ends 11" forward of the transom (see first pic). True LOA (to my understanding at least) is the...

You might be right but I have my doubts on 300 OB's on a 330. It's not all about HP, your 454's will have waaaayy more torque not to mention more bite with duo-prop I/O's.

Coming right along! Since this is a 280, twin 300's should be nice. The OP's boat was a 330 and not sure if twin 300's would be adequate.

I have the exact year and engines as the 370 you are looking at. Pretty much like everyone has said, hull loves to cruise at 36 - 38 mph @ 3600 - 3700 RPM at which you get about 1 MPG. I had it up to...
