I may have the boat that blew past you at the chesapeake run. I bought it last year from a guy who had blowers in it. I bought the boat without power. If it is it let me know.

The boat I seen was white and brown with a big box with scoops over eng. Steve S. told me the guy pulled the power and put it in a 390. I seen the 30 for sale a few years back. With no power. Im going to re do this one and build a new 390 later on.

I nead to get pis. out ther of the eng. thay need to go.I dont need 950s in a 30ft boat. 500s 525s will work, That will put it in the high 80s/90 mph

Hey pullthe trigger,that is the boat and he had big blower engines in it,the guys name was Ray that owned it and he pulled the power out of your boat and bought the old BFI race boat wheich he still has but does not run the boat very often.The boat looks great you have done a great job on bringing it back to life,
