Re: Y2K Outboard Cockpit
I havent heard that, but I paid him a visit on Saturday and he was talking of a potential staggered 496 setup where the back seat would be on one side of the boat and the staggered engine would be on the other. This way the boat would not just be a 2 seater. Cool idea.

Re: Y2K Outboard Cockpit
He can buy (2) 496HO Bravo packages for less than 1/2 what a 850HP #6 costs...
I guess a boat that will run 75-80mph is not good enough anymore...
For me, a Y2k with a fuel injected 600HP engine hooked to a Bravo XR would be about the best combo...

Re: Y2K Outboard Cockpit
I have been out on the Y2K outboard board. I used to hang out with the owner a lot while we were in college. When the boat was new I had my 27 Progression at the time. Alan rigged it with twin 2.5's. The boat I have to say did look pretty cool because it was the only one built. Plus I am not a fan of molded swim platforms adding length for no reason. My wife made me put the swim platform on the current boat but besides the fact that it keeps some of the noise muffled I am not convinced yet. The Y2K outboard boat was pretty fast. I believe he got it to just over 90 after the race brains were installed. It was a little ass heavy though with the outboards. I remember running out of Jones Inlet the night before the Poker run from Patty McGees in 4 foot swells and the stern would fall like a brick after the boat left the water. But that boat was fast........ I will try and get in touch with Alan as I have not talked to him in a couple of years. He used to roam around OSO but I have not seen him here in a long time. Maybe he can post some pics...
