Dont want to do it but need to sell my favorite toy. Brand new full roller 400CU small block chevys with sportsman heads, only dynoed, on stands, waiting to install. Rebuilt trailer. Two sets of props Bravos and blades. Active thunder Hydraulic steering all new white gauges. Good paint top and bottom. Flat engine cover. Thru hull exaust with flaps. Low hour Bravo drives. This boat will run huge seas and always land right. Engines were built by Don Scinto in Stratford, he wants his stands back. Boat is complete and ready to put together. john at [email protected] have photos

Post some photos. That sounds like a rare boat!

480HP at what RPM Spinning what pitch props. Should be interesting. Reminds me of RC marine

Looks bad-ass! http://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/18474

That is cool. Those motors must be tight in there! I wonder what numbers it runs?

The old R C Marine is in Puerto Rico. Mike Bowe had a tempest Race boat, twin small blocks (500+ HP each) in the early 80's. Did over around a hundred. White hull, with the reed and blue stripes. Don't know what ever happened to it.

6'6" Beam? Is that right?

@ the transom. Widest is 7'3". They fit. Mikes was a Raped Ape. Remember taking a few rides in it. For the day (early80's) it was fast as Sh%t. Right up there with Statton's 30 Scarab, Wheeler Dealer which did almost a hundred. I raced with him in Patchauge and we blew a drive. And Statton had twin 750's. Along the transom, it said, " Caution, this is Action". And he wasn't kidding.

I agree. This boat has always done it for me...classic looks, twin smallblocks, super quick and a real sleeper. I only wish they made more Tempests w/ twin small blacks...how many were made...6 to 8?

I think have the white with the red and blue stripe race boat. I bought it in 1992 and restored her.
