Hey guys, thanks for the thumbs up on the redo.
"STOKED"
your right. i'm not the best on the ad. i added that they are fresh water cooled and the risers were just done, as per merc at 200 hrs. also put in, the shaft logs are dripless. Dont have any good bilge pics now but will get some together. the bilge is spotless.

I stopped counting at 95k with out my labor. No B.S. I feel if I get the right guy who likes the layout, takes this boat out and runs the crap out of it ,then have a complete survey done, then compare it to whats out ther for 40- 50k the rest will take care of its self. Thank god i'm not hurting to sell it, I need to have it in the water early and get some guys out for rides.

Did i meet you at the beach?
"VELOOCE"
Your boat looks great!!!! If i didnt end up with a 1990 390ec falling in my lap, I would not be selling my 30
Thanks again

CMI - I have only run big blocks in my boat and it has been by far much more efficient than the older small block boats. It appears 7.4's are now discontinued and the new small blocks have more torque and power and I would be interested in your overall performance and fuel economy.

velooce,
after a few good trips with the boat i found on a decent day i would burn 13- 14 gals/hr combined. that's running at 22-24 knts at 3200 rpm's. the boat will cruise faster but the fuel burn would increase considerably.
