Re: Y2K Outboard Cockpit
 
Will speak to alan today in regards to the story behind the repair. Being in the business i hate to make accusations based on hear say, maybe they did want to repair it?? but my memory tells me they told him to scratch, will verify. and find out if for sale, (dont think he is selling though)

I think the Y2k bowrider would make a great boat, it seams like lots of mfgs are going that route these days, bowriders are back in - maybe not here but out mid-west and west US. things that start out West come here short times later.

(dont hold me to that) but this conversation was over a year or plus ago and he lost interested in boat after all that. but it is in freeport,

I spoke with John about the boat not to long ago, and the warranty. John said we didn't rig it, and the motors weren't properly bolted up. Which caused the knee to delaminate. At least thats what John said. I never saw the boat.

short shaft's
 
At one time someone said that the O/B 30 had 15'' motors. Where the motors bolted to the back of the boat or where they on brackets. I owned a 1989 30 with twin v8's and it ran pretty well. It had a front 90 gal fuel tank in the bow and transfer pumps to transfer fuel from the rear tank to the front. It was rigged with a stand up ony front on pice boulster
seat. It was red and white. vin was # sby10227d989
I think a new bottem y2k could go well into the 90's.

who rigged the y2k? Thinking of a y2k with outboards what is the right way to rig it? Does it have to be a special build to handle outboards? I had a 24 with twins rigged by Ocean Outboard and it had some transom problems.

There was a red and white Tempest running around the CT River a couple years back with twin 300 Mercs. I heard she would hit mid high 90s...
