Good deal, just took delivery of a 33', needs a pair of engines and didnt know how crazy i would have to get to make it move. Twin 500 horsepower engines should push it high 70s then?
Finishing my Apache, then starting on this one. Cant beat classic boats, great lines, built tough, pound though anything.

Still trying to decide a plan of attack on it. May end up being a diesel boat, I have a pair of Dt-466 engines and tons of tractor pulling parts. 400hp would be no problem, would have around 1600ft lbs torque. Would need gearing (2speed trannys) because rpms would only be 3,500 for longevity.
Seems as though the bottom was blueprinted at one point in its life, straight as an arrow and sharp.

Hey Lib...
Please strip it down completely and check for ALL structural issues. This boat comes from a long line of great boats, but if you don't prepare her wisely, you may be seriously injured. Fix the boat first, then worry about the power.
