We'd have to add another 27K to that Ron because I would want 4 engines instead of three so as to gain a HP advantage over what I have now. then subtract $40K+ for resale of present 2.5 280's for a total of only $91,500.00 !!! I think that I could do some sweat equity on this to knock off a few more thousand, also find a better price on the 400's (volume discount). Still a lot of dough for 10-15 mph faster?

Sounds good to me! When are we starting the new thread!
As you probably have already learned I would budget another 25% as nothing goes as planned. Oh yea forgot you will need 4 new R+R setbacks that can hold those monsters also! Figure $800.00 piece powder coated to match. Another $3200.00 dollars!
Also with the fourth motor add another prop, another steering plate, Tie Bar, different throttle box. Oops there goes that 40k for the used motors!

Man I know what you're saying. When it comes to this high performance marine stuff money can fly! enough to make your head swim!
When you sit down and really think about doing a project, adrenaline can sometimes trick us into making stupid financial decisions. I know that I can count on my Skater brothers to reel me in and bring me back down to earth::traurig001: My wife thanks you too I'm sure;)
I'm now just going to have to turn my attention back to my pile of junk and make the best of it, Lol

How about four 300x power plants ?

Double Rigged 01-23-2015 03:54 PM

Come on man you have a really nice boat. NO JUNK!
The last fact of money we all can relate to and now I am done.... Here is the equation

MONEY SPENT (Builds/Project, Ins, Fuel and Travel) Divided by Hours of Use = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ per hour!
Love these kinds of boats!!!!!
