In a related thread we were talking about Janne's newly acquired 1988 242 SR1 (242 W/350s). Janne has one of the last of four that were ever built.
Then I got to thinking,,,,,,,,,hmmm, did any other builders ever jam two small blocks into a 24 footer......
anyone out there know?
I know a few came close, FourWinns with 26 Liberator, twin fat blocks. Maybe Magnum back in the day, not sure though. Don't think Cig. did.
Actually, I think the early Formula 233s had twins,,,,,,smaller yet!!!!!!
This could be interesting,,,,,Formula may have built the smallest boat with twin small blocks.

I did not know that, seriously!!!!
I've never seen a 24 Liberator with twins.
So,,,,,,,,, does that still make the early Formula 233 with twins the smallest?

Were (2)24 Liberators here with twin small blocks, both '86 to '87 vintage.

. I've seen them too.I met one guy who got his by collecting a debt. Some guy owned him money for a job performed and offered him a 24 Liberator with t/350s. He never had a boat but figured "what the hell". After he tried it out he was hooked

It caught my eye because I had a 21' Lib. at the time.
