Default How about a Y2K with 400Rs???

Cost to build new?
Speed?
Handling?

What about converting an I/O to outboards?

I'm just thinking out loud, wondering what others think.......

That would be a bad-azz boat! I think converting would be tougher than it would be worth. You would have to remove the platform and cut down the deck. Then you would have all that wasted space unless you moved the seat back too. Possible, but probably not easy.

There is a 30 ft center console Superboat with twin 300xs that is running in the 90s. 400s would be interesting.

A friend of mine just did a 32 skater with those motors. Haven't heard about results. How much are those puppies anyway ?

I talked to John about building a Y2K CC with single 400R before purchasing my Renegade. I passed up on the SB because I wanted a small cuddy and not the open deck. It's over a 100K with a single Verado. I think there is a Y2K CC with a single 350 Verado running around too.
