Y2K with TWINS
 
What was the verdict good or bad.That boat was made crashed into the rocks and never heard about again.Inquiring minds want to know?Ever get dialed in properly,weight,speed, slip numbers .Little stuff like that.I loved the hatch but those holes!!!!

Funny you ask. The other day someone was inquiring in my 24 and was a friend of the guy that bought that boat. Said the reason he drifted into the rocks was a blockage in the fuel lines. He wasnt to specific but said the boat ran in the upper 80's...Hearsay at best.

While talking w/John he mentioned he would have liked to mount the smallblocks higher but couldn't.

No 525 w/ITS is what its gonna be.. I was just talking w/John on how that install went with the twins, how tight etc. I think i remember seeing a photo of the stearn and the outdrives looked like they hung down below the bottom quite a bit...hence his(Johns) comment of not being able to mount them as high as he would have liked too. Also the reason for the modified hatch...for which I as well as others are proding him to modify for a single so to increase fresh air the the mota. Never enough fresh air ya know!

Mike and his Superboat 30. Richie Zule motors. Animal of a boat. I'm sure I might have a pic of it somewhere around here. I'll see if I can find it.
